In clear and concise language, veteran education writer Robert
Rothman identifies nine instructional "shifts" encouraged by the
new Common Core State Standards and provides examples of how
teachers and school districts are overcoming challenges in
implementation. He presents the research and rationale behind each
change and provides examples of teachers making the shifts as well
as sample test questions that could be used to gauge student
progress in the future. Rothman also addresses major challenges
that are emerging as districts and schools move to implement the
standards and highlights the ways leading school districts are
working to overcome them. Fewer, Clearer, Higher-the mantra adopted
by the writers of the Common Core to emphasise the difference
between existing state standards and the new ones needed to truly
prepare all students for college or careers-is an indispensable
guide for educators and anyone else seeking a better understanding
of this major new development in education policy.
