The Good News! “Children’s books sales are up across the board, with increases ranging from 12% to 37% for paper books and 250% for children’s ebooks.” Source: US eBook Sales Were Up in the First Half of 2012, October 15th, 2012 by Nate Hoffelder “U.S. Math, Science Achievement Exceeds World Average” Source: Ed Week, Published Online: December 11, 2012

  4. And Some More… “U.S. fourth graders are definitely looking better. From 2006 to 2011, their math performance on TIMSS bumped up twelve points and now trails that of their counterparts in just seven other lands (in East Asia and Northern Ireland). Even more remarkable results come from PIRLS: Of the fifty-three systems participating, only four from abroad bested the U.S.’s score (Hong Kong, Russia, Finland, and Singapore). Further, Singapore is the only foreign system to surpass us at the “advanced” level, where an impressive 17 percent of American fourth graders can be found.” Source: Robelson, E., “U.S. Math, Science Achievement Exceeds World Average,” Education Week, December, 2012

  14. What Do Teachers Think About the CCSS?

  15. How do we begin and how do we implement over the whole K-12 spectrum? • Lack of clarity on what direction I am supposed to take from this point forward • Firm, specific examples of stepsto taketo reachthe desired target and a timeline to focus on. • The timeto explore and learn the CCSS and the support needed to implement them correctly. • We are unsure of what curriculum to look at and begin to pilot in order to best meet the CCSS. • One of the biggest challenges is for all disciplines to understand that ELA is not only limited to the "English" department, but that it is a skill set that all departments need to own. • The time factor to juggle educating myself in CCSS while still teaching • How to prioritize what aspects of the CCSS to convey to the teachers in terms of professional development. • Increasing knowledge of CCSS to support content-area teachers in the implementation of CCSS in their courses. • Building the teacher and administrative capacity and understanding among our leaders.
