New York Considering Rebranding, Tweaking Common Core.

The Rochester (NY) Democrat & Chronicle (9/15) reports that New York Chancellor Merryl Tisch said Tuesday that the state is considering “a possible name change for a revamped Common Core,” saying that “the name of the standards is among the things being discussed by the state Education Department as it reviews the Common Core under new Commissioner MaryEllen Elia.” Tisch said that such a name change “would be coupled with more-substantive, New York-specific adjustments resulting from the state Education Department’s review.”
