6. Overview What do you really know about the Standards? PROMPT #10 The Standards tell teachers how to teach. PROMPT #9 The Standards are not a curriculum. PROMPT #8 No teachers were involved in writing the Standards. PROMPT #7 The Common Core Standards will not be updated. PROMPT #1 The Standards are designed to build upon the most advanced current thinking about preparing all students for success in college and their careers. PROMPT #2 The Standards only include skills and do not address the importance of content knowledge. PROMPT #6 Key math topics are missing or appear in the wrong grade. PROMPT #3 English teachers will be asked to teach science and social studies reading materials. PROMPT #5 The federal government will take over ownership of the Common Core State Standards Initiative. PROMPT #4 The Standards don’t have enough emphasis on fiction/literature.
