Connecticut District Looking To Align Math Curriculum With Common Core

The Stamford (CT) Advocate (12/8, Chamoff) reports that a "committee of administrators, teachers and parents" in Greenwich, Connecticut, are preparing to review the district's math curriculum as the district "implements the common core standards, national standards for language arts and math that are intended to encourage more analytical thinking and in-depth problem solving. Brenda Brush, the district's math program administrator, said the committee will be looking through different materials and programs that support instruction with the common core." The piece notes that some area stakeholders have been critical of the current curriculum, saying it "doesn't allow students to master basic skills."
