Educate me on your take on Common Core. [View all]
Do we have any TEACHERS here? I am interested in Common Core and your take...
A friend of mine, teacher, is visiting.
She is extremely intelligent and trying to explain to me what Common Core is and why the way it is being implemented is the problem, not that the system itself is a problem.
She says that expecting high school students to all of a sudden take on Common Core approaches to learning makes no sense, that it should be rolled out starting only at the beginning (kindergarten and up)
But she likes the Common Core method, teaching critical thinking, etc.
I am interested in what teachers who are dealing with this think.
