Something in Common is the first book to provide a detailed look at
the groundbreaking Common Core State Standards and their potential
to transform American education. This book tells the story of the
unfolding political drama around the making of the Common Core
State Standards for math and English language arts, which were
adopted by 43 states and the District of Columbia over a six-month
period in 2010, after decades of similar proposals had gone down in
flames. As a senior fellow at the major organization promoting the
Common Core standards, education writer Bob Rothman gives the
reader a bird's eye view of this unfolding drama and brings the
major players to life with lively anecdotes and behind-the-scenes
details. He describes the developments leading up to the historic
agreement and compares them to earlier efforts. He also explains
the content of the standards in depth, describes steps being taken
to implement them, and examines how the assessment consortia plan
to measure student performance against the new standards. The book
is a must-have reference work for researchers, practitioners,
school leaders, policy makers, and others interested in
contemporary education policy and reform.
