"Real accountability for improving schools requires us to make smart decisions about measuring the factors that drive student engagement and achievement." Sandy Hayes
After the past year, this would be a good time for state education departments to reflect on the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Reflection would provide time to consider what has gone well and what has not. Unfortunately, many states are not taking the time to slow down the process. They are just simply moving forward, no matter how flawed their thinking may be at this point.
It is often said that the CCSS are about the "what" and not the "how." Supporters of the CCSS state that they will lead to better learning outcomes and improve instructional practices. Opponents of the CCSS argue that the standards are more assessment driven, and not about improving learning outcomes.
