Article on the Common Core

Common Core this and Common Core that ... I think I eat, sleep, and breathe the Common Core these days! 

I found this article to be both interesting and easy to read. I hear about the Common Core on a daily basis, although it will not the implemented in my school district until the 2012-2013 school year.  I have attended workshops about the Common Core as well as information learned in graduate school.  The analogy that Golub used in this article comparing the CC to a library sinking and relevant. Teachers these days take on so much and try to do their best in everything they do, but are unable to be well-grounded due to being loaded down with so much.

I believe that the CC will be most beneficial to students that migrate from school to school, as well as state to state.  Although, the teachers will not be teaching in the same way at least they will be hearing the same curriculum language.

I truly enjoyed reading this article. It has given me some new things to think about as well as a new perspective on the CC.
