Yesterday the new Core Content Standards for Mathematics and Languages Arts were finally published for all to see. These are DRAFTS and are open to public comment. If you go to: www.corestandards.org you can view the standards by grade level, and there is an online survey for you to complete. This public comment period will end April 2, 2010. The state of Ohio is under the gun to get these standards approved because of the requirements for Race to the Top funds. I had sent out an email yesterday for after school meetings for us to discuss the Language Arts and Math standards. I need to change the date for the Language Arts meeting - it will no longer be on March 22nd but rather Thursday, March 25th from 3:30 to 4:30 in the HS Library. Please email me if you plan on attending. The Math meeting remains on March 31st at the same time. I was told by an ODE consultant yesterday that they are anticipating the new OAA tests aligned to these new core standards will not be in place until 2014-2015.
