In 2014 and 2015, the first tests will be administered to assess how students are measuring up to the Common Core State Standards – new college and career-ready standards that have been adopted by 45 states and three territories. The result of those tests, many educators believe, will be a disaster. But standards, of course, are one thing. Preparing students to meet them is quite another. School district leaders from across the country say that their states are woefully behind when it comes to preparing students for the Common Core. Many places are not even sure what they should be doing, much less taking steps to do it. At a time when even innovative school district leaders feel like they are under attack from some for-profit charter schools and virtual institutions, educators worry that poor test scores will be used to accelerate the demise of public education itself, one of the last great democratizing forces in America.

"Each of us is the system."- Michael Fullan The term shift was not included in the book. During the past year, the term shift has been mentioned in professional development, on webinars, in books, and in conversations with colleagues. The Common Core State Standards require educators to make multiple shifts that will change teaching and learning. EngageNY outlines instructional shifts, Common Core shifts, and shifts for students and parents. How will you prepare to make shift happen in your school?

BY Catherine Gewertz Colorado, which has been one of a dwindling pack of polygamous states, has decided to change its ways and make a commitment. It decided to become a governing member of PARCC. This is just the latest chapter in Colorado's story of inner conflict about the assessment consortia. Now only three states remain in the polygamous camp (nongoverning members of both consortia): Alabama, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. Utah joined five other states in the "no consortium" group recently, when it dropped out of the Smarter Balanced group.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Math instruction is going to be different this year in local schools, as Alabama is one of 45 states to have adopted the Common Core Standards. State officials said the approach, which is being labeled here as Alabama’s College and Career Standards, involves a more common sense, relevant way of teaching that will better prepare students for college or the workforce. Students “won’t just be memorizing facts to regurgitate on a test,” said Philip Cleveland who oversees career-technical education and workforce development for the Alabama Department of Education.
