Why Common Core?

Posted by Kristi Gottwalt in standards, techcore

As curriculum directors and administrators work to get buy-in from teachers on the Common Core State Standards, it’s important to understand why so many states signed on to the new standards. Dr. William Scmidt recently released a summary of his work: Common Core State Standards Math: The Relationship Between High Standards, Systemic Implementation and Student Achievement. The research highlights the potential for student success if the standards are properly implemented.

Atomic Learning announced the early availability of the new Atomic TechCore solution at the ASCD Conference on Saturday in Philadelphia, PA. The Atomic TechCore solution was developed in response to district needs to address the technology components embedded in the Common Core State Standards.

Several states have not yet adopted the Common Core standards, but all students will be influenced through textbook changes, professional development planning and shared curriculum resources. For the first time, an eighth grade student in Tennessee will be required to learn the same curriculum as a student in California, Wisconsin, or Florida.
