I agree Emily. I've been looking for information (not propaganda) that would credibly back up the claims of the Common Core proponents that these standards and curricula will produce the incredible results they claim. But so far, I haven't been able to find anything substantial.
If Common Core proponents would provide credible studies showing the effectiveness of this approach, it would go a long way towards informing those of us who simply don't take these things on faith just because a bunch of large corporations, high-ranking politicians and education department administrators say so.
This article about the effectiveness the Common Core approach is interesting. But I'd love to read credible studies showing that this radically new approach will work.
