nine ways the common core will change classroom practice
The University of Distinguished professor of education at Michigan State University did a survey and found that the majority of teachers read the standards and like most of them. They also found about 80% of mathematic teachers said they are basically the standards. Michigan state feels that they should re-evaluate what they read because of the significant difference.There are nine important differences they have now;1in Mathematics the standards are notable not just for what they include but also for what they don't include. The standards concentrate more on arithmetic and less on geometry. Some popular topics like a calendar are not included at all, and there are no standards for data and statistics until 6th grade. so teachers are asked to concentrate on important things earlier. 2.Coherence one of the most criticisms of state standards is that they tend to include the same topics year after year.. Common core is designed to buld on students understanding .3.skills, understanding and application the aspect of mathematics knowledge is most important.4. Emphasis on praactices. The standards have 8 criteria for mathematical practices. Making sense of the problems and perserving to solve them reasoning and quantitatively. etc.. These are just a few of the basic changes in the core of mathematical. In the English department ;1. More nofiction;Reflecting the fact that students will read primarily expository text after highchool.the standards want students to write more expository pros. 2.Focus on Evidence more .. things of this sort.
