Indiana Teachers Tasked With Explaining Common Core To Parents

An NPR (1/31, Moxley) "StateImpact" article reports that teachers in Indiana "have been tasked with explaining key changes" related to the Common Core Standards "not just to students but to parents, too." The article profiles a local first-grade teacher who helps to write "a weekly newsletter to parents explaining what first grade students are learning." The piece notes that Indiana first-grade teachers are "teaching the first group of students who received instruction based on the new standards as kindergartners."
