This from Ed Week by way of
Politics K-12:
Math, Literacy, & Common Standards
Nearly every state has signed on to use the Common Core State
Standards as a framework for teaching English/language arts and
mathematics to students. Translating them for the classroom, however,
requires schools, teachers, and students to change the way they approach
teaching and learning. This report examines the progress some states
have made in implementing the standards, what preparations need to be
undertaken, and the challenges that policymakers and educators face in
achieving the goals of the standards.
Whether the standards succeed will depend largely on how well
they are translated from expectations to classroom instruction,
advocates say.
