NYS Information Fluency
I am familiar with Common Core instruction through my time spent as an elementary level substitute teacher. I have also provided instruction and resources to Nassau County librarians in support of the NYS Information Fluency Continuum. Many of the skills students acquire through library instruction tie into a variety of goals which have been determined to contribute to making students “college and career ready”. I have also had a great deal of experience in training and instructional delivery and enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills with others.

    As a member of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s Undergraduate Education Advisory Committee (UEAC) I worked closely with other committee members to complete the first major revision of the Texas Core Curriculum in over 30 years. The Texas Core is the common general education core curriculum required of all Texas public colleges and universities. The UEAC carefully studied the needs of employers in the state and nation, national trends in core curriculum structure and development, and key performance indicators of student learning and success to develop its recommendation. The revision of the Texas Core Curriculum completed by the UEAC included learning outcomes which were generally aligned with the American Association of College and Universities (AAC&U) Essential Learning Outcomes, clearly defined foundational component areas, a map of the core curriculum objectives to the foundational component areas, an allocation of semester credit hours by foundational component area, an assessment reporting process that is aligned to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges reporting process, and a timeline for the development and approval of the revised core curriculum at each Texas public…

    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.…

The purpose of the popular article is to talk about the gaps between some core standards and what college instructors think is important for students. Many elementary school teachers continue to use math concepts that are not included in Core standards because they think they are important,…
