Report Offers Suggestions To Help Math Teachers Cope With Common Standards

In the "Curriculum Matters" blog of Education Week (12/2), Erik Robelen writes that a report by three experts in math education contains "some recommendations to help ensure that teachers get the right training and assistance to bring the common standards to life in the classroom." The suggestions include engaging teachers "in a 'focused and integrated way," offering "'vivid images of teaching and learning' consistent with the standards," and providing "a 'continuous and coherent set of experiences' over an extended period of time."
