I hope all LEX teachers read this article by Marc Tucker, world renown researcher and president of the National Center on Education and the Economy. Tucker's thoughts in this article are responses to a Washington Post article on 8.15 by Marion Brady who wrote about 8 problems with Common Core State Standards.
Tucker responds to each "problem" with eloquent, insightful prose with thoughts that integrate and elevate the CC standards to the larger purpose of education.
Teachers...please read this using "close" reading. Go slow and savor Tucker's language and thoughts.
