Education groups receive funds to implement Common Core State Standards |
||
 According to its website, the Common Core State Standards is a national curriculum in mathematics and English language arts. It aims to ensure that students are learning similar topics in the same grades. Among the local and state AFT affiliates who were given the grant was the Chicago Teachers Union. In Illinois, the grant will be used to find new ways to use the Common Core State Standards to enhance kindergarten through third-grade math, technical education and English language arts, among other subjects. Another affiliate who received the funding was the Albuquerque Teachers Federation. This New Mexico-based group will create professional development material that will allow teachers of English language learners to use the Common Core State Standards. This project will specifically focus on students in grades one, four and eight. |
