Common Core aligned with respected state standards
Common Core, High school - college curriculum alignment Tagged alignment, common core, curriculum alignment, high school-college alignment, readiness October 27th, 2011Check out this article from Education Week that highlights a recently released study conducted by David Conley’sEducational Policy Improvement Center in Oregon. (David wrote College Knowledge and spoke at a Berkshire Compact meeting a couple of years ago…)
It is noted that the new Common Core State Standards in English/language arts and mathematics are, in general, on par with the standards of leading states (including Massachusetts), as well as those of the IB and others used to assess college readiness, but they may be more demanding in some areas.
It’s also worth the time to skim the comments… The question is raised about whether being aligned with noteworthy state standards ensures the ultimate goal of “college readiness” for all students.
