As Common Core Standards roll into our classrooms next year, a lot will change. That’s a good thing, trust me.
For the past few years, our California education system has been focused on trying to cram a ton of information into kids. Much of the information has been presented long before the child is capable of understanding the complex concepts being taught. To make matters worse, the state standards have forced teachers to move much too quickly through concepts, resulting in frustration for everyone. But that’s all about to change!
