The Battle Over Common Core Math Standards: Will A Larger Federal Role Help or Hinder Curriculum Improvement?
Education Next: CAMBRIDGE, MA – More than 40 states have now agreed to adopt the Common Core standards in English Language Arts and math. In a forum released today on the website, www.educationnext.org, former U.S. Department of Education official Ze’ev Wurman and Johns Hopkins University professor of mathematics W. Stephen Wilson offer differing opinions about the standards. Wurman and Wilson address key issues raised – including 1) how much the standards will improve on those currently in place in various states, 2) whether they will resolve deep disagreements over what skills constitute sound math education, and 3) whether they might have the unintended consequence of removing incentives for further improvement.
