Common Core: what is it really ? Rache Landivar Ms.Bowers ELA per. 2 June,5,2014
Why I choose this topic ? • Common core is a recent topic that involves students. I as a student was concerned about this change and wanted to learn more. this drove me to choose this as a topic. http://info.sadlier.com/Portals/95641/images/Common-Core-State-Standards-Math-Gal.jpg
Background • CCSS=clear goals and benchmarks • set of standards that can compare to other states and countries • formed by best effective standards from different areas • supposed to prepare for career and college Before: • different standards in different areas • hard to see student progress
pros and cons • CCSS will be able to compare to other countries accurately to improve • students will be able to travel without worrying about school • standards make sure kids know what need to know at a certain time • formed by highest most effective stanards used • special needs students won't get modified tests • ELL students can fall behind due to such emphasis on English in each class • schools will have to update everything causing more expenses • big transition
