A new survey shows that teachers are confident that they're ready to teach the new Common Core State Standards, but they aren't entirely convinced that doing so will help students.
The MetLife Survey of the American Teacher, released today, examines teachers' and principals' attitudes about their work. My colleague Liana Heitin has a full account of the study for you. But Chapter 4 of the study focuses on the Common Core State Standards. And it turned up an interesting mix of feedback about educators' own readiness to teach them, and their views on whether they will improve student achievement or better prepare students for college or work.
More than 90 percent of teachers and principals said they consider themselves knowledgeable or very knowledgeable about the common core.
