Common Core • Rational is to make all students college/career ready by grade 12 • Emphasis is on student-centered learning where the teacher is serving as the facilitator • A deeper understanding which sets a firm foundation for students (It may seem slow at times, however, every step of learning is essential to proper development. In the past, students have had gaps in their learning due to a weak foundation.) • Stressed importance on listening/speaking by having meaningful conversations. • In Math students will still need to be fluent in math facts but we will be teaching several strategies for learning them.
