Meeting Description:
The summit seeks to explore and accurately
represent the realities of the Common Core,
from its intended goals to its development and
implementation across the United States. With a
multiplicity of competing voices in the public
discourse surrounding several states’ decisions
to repeal or not adopt the Common Core, it can
be difficult for community stakeholders at all
levels to evaluate the realities of the
standards. From the creation of the goals and
policy development to the eventual
implementation of the Common Core, what has
emerged is a set of standards that has far more
questions than answers. The goal of this summit
is to work toward demystifying the Common Core
State Standards and to come to a common
understanding of the strengths and weaknesses
of this initiative and how to move forward.
