Adopting Common Standards: Article Analysis
These articles, while limited in number, help me see the possibilities of adopting common standards. Nay-sayers will claim that we shouldn’t have common standards because not all kids are capable of meeting those standards. The questions that I need to ask myself are, “What will happen to the struggling students if we don’t adopt common standards?” They will continue as they are. “What will happen to the struggling students if we do adopt common standards?” They may possibly reach a higher level of achievement than they might have otherwise. Based on my additional information, I am inclined to support common standards, recognizing that it will take professional development for teachers of special education in how to make this

    During the past 7 years I have had the opportunity to teach Students with Disabilities (SWD) at a high school level and also to train teachers, in my current position as a Special Education School Improvement Specialist with RSE-TASC (Regional Special Education Technical Assistance Center). Although the achievement gap is true for most student populations in NYC schools, the discrepancy is particularly daunting for the SWD and /ELL populations. In fact what we often find is that extraordinary numbers of ELL students are being referred to special education…

    Common Core Standards Research Paper

    The present work, led by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors Association (NGA), builds on the foundation laid by states in their decades-long work on crafting high-quality education standards. The Standards also draw on the most important international models as well as research and input from numerous sources, including state departments of education, scholars, assessment developers, professional organizations, educators from kindergarten through college, and parents, students, and other members of the public. In their design and content, refined through successive drafts and numerous rounds of feedback, the Standards represent a synthesis of the best elements of standards-related work to date and an important advance over that previous work. As specified by CCSSO and NGA, the Standards are (1) research and evidence based, (2) aligned with college and work expectations, (3) rigorous, and (4) internationally benchmarked. A particular standard was included in the document only when the best available evidence indicated that its mastery was essential for college and career readiness in a twenty-first-century, globally competitive society. The Standards are intended to be a living work: as new and better evidence emerges, the Standards will be revised accordingly. The Standards are an extension of a prior initiative led by CCSSO and NGA to develop College and Career Readiness (CCR) standards in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language as well as in mathematics. The CCR Reading, Writing, and Speaking and…

    What Are The Pros And Cons Of Standardized Testing

    Standardized testing has been a heavily debated topic for many years because it is not evident if testing is more beneficial or detrimental for children or schools. There are many pros and cons associated with the use of standardized testing. Most educators agree that there needs to be a method of accountability for schools and school districts. However, the question remains, are students tested too much? Additionally, to what extent can a standardize test assess students achievement? Some states use alternative methods of assessment. President Obama pledged to reduce the amount of standardized testing in our schools mainly because it is clear that standardized testing has not improved student achievement in the United States.

    Common Core State Standards Pros And Cons

    The Common Core State Standards Initiative (also known simply as Common Core) is an educational initiative that details what primary and secondary students should understand at the end of each grade in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Common Core's background dates to the 1990s with the inception of what was known as the "Standards & Accountability Movement," which sought to reform the educational standards upon which students were measured in relation to college and workplace readiness. In 2009, at the behest of the National Governors Association, the Common Core State Standards Initiative was officially introduced as policy. The Obama Administration, using federal 'Race to the Top' grants as an incentive, urged the states to adopt Common Core by August 2, 2010, upon which forty-one states pledged to do so, with four explicitly opting out. In addition to the original four states that chose not to adopt Common Core, eight others have (since 2010) withdrawn, Throughout the course of this essay, I will examine both the pros and cons of the Common Core State Standards Initiative.…

    Misunderstanding Of Standardized Testing

    Standardized tests have existed in America since 1800s. The tests are ubiquitous attempt to measure students’ performance based on his or her ability to come up with a singular answer to multiple choice questions. A major problem with this is that all students learn differently and their ability to take the standardized test is not a valid representation. The “No Child Left Behind Act” caused a surge in the amount of standardized tests required throughout the nation. The results of these standardized testing showed that America was in the 31st position in the world in the level of education. This is reflected in our school system, which is most likely caused by the misunderstanding of the standardized testing. Standardized testing limits…

    How To Write A Persuasive Essay On Standardized Testing

    The authors of Assessment in Special education express without standardized exams, parents would not be able to compare their child to students across the country or their school district to other local or national schools. They also can create a comparison between sub-groups, for example students that identify as the same race/ethnicity, children in a specific classroom, higher level education, and special education. Another positive is that teachers are held to a higher standard with guidance of what information be on the test for the student’s to know. Each teacher in that school district would be teaching the same material meaning that a third grade teacher would be teaching the same information as a fifth grade teacher at a different school within the district. This would make sure that all student’s within that school district the same…

    High Stakes Testing Research Paper

    In discussions of students with disabilities and their academic success, a controversial issue is weather or not students with identified learning disabilities should be required to participate in high stakes testing. While some argue that all students should be held to the same academic standards, regardless of their disability, others believe that these tests are too difficult for some students, namely – those with learning disabilities. Although it may not seem unfair to hold all students to the same academic standard, the reality is that not all students are exposed to the same content, that being the content that must be learned in order to pass most standardized tests. In an article published by Great Schools Staff they stated, “While every state is required to have high academic standards that are the same for every student, we know that many students with disabilities are not yet being taught to those standards.”…
