3 Key Ideas for Parents about the Common Core

Thinking Deeply Emphasizes critical thinking analyze more, discuss more, evaluate more, justify more and explain their

thinking & understanding deeply, especially in by written expression Take-Away: Really thinking deeply is hard. Let it BE hard, help them talk it

out. Integrating Learning

Emphasizes learning across disciplines (reading with math & social studies standards combined into one task).

Students spend more time working together with different settings, structures & tools.

Take-Away: Problems & solutions happen every day in the real world. Showing How They Know

Emphasizes proof & evidence. Long gone are the days of worksheets, fact memorizations and skill & drill.

Students are not taught this way and they are not assessed this way. Take-away: The new tests will require students to explain how they know.
