California Teachers Transitioning To Common Core

Hispanic Business (1/8, Yawger) reports, "Merced, Calif., area high schools are among the first to adopt California's new common core instructional standards and two dozen local teachers are pioneering the system that's described as a new way of doing business." Noting that the number of teachers using Common Core practices will expand to 100 this April, the paper notes that all teachers are expected to use the standards by 2015.
