If you have been following Common Core, it's been killed for quite a while actually, since the ESSA, Every Student Succeeds Act.
The advocates for Common Core still claim it to be in operation, with a "flexibility" in standards, lol. What is important after ESSA is that federal funding was de-coupled from Common Core. It's actually illegal to make funding conditional on adhering to a national standard.
In fact, they made states all go through this process of developing their own plans. I followed it in our own state, they had us call these meetings with "stakeholders" and took public testimony, etc.
I wrote about something very different in the offing across a number of states, and it has arrived at my own local school district. It is called Personalized Learning.
It's the opposite of the Common Core Principle of making every student a drone to the same curriculum. There's a good video of Bill Gates comparing students to wall sockets back when that ******* was busy plundering the nation with his Common Core hoax. Anyway, here it is:
I can't say what your own district is doing or what it is called. But there has definitely been a backlash against viewing kids as interchangeable commoddities. Unitized humans.
In retrospect, I sneered at the name "Every Student Succeeds", but I do acknowledge the result, in my state, is viewing kids as individuals with a definition of success for each kid.
I applaud this boot-heel-in-ass kicking of Bill Gates out of education.
Students are drastically unique. They need to be treated as individuals, not wall sockets.
We always had standardized testing. That was a hoax from the beginning. But curriculum wasn't dictated by a federal authority. If your school district wanted to study space aliens, creationism, faked moon landings by NASA, great. Your kids still had to take standardized tests. We just did them with paper and pencil before Gates got it changed into online interactive testing. No paper and pencils.
It's not good to have chaos in curriculum, in subject delivery, and that's what happened with Common Core. The Common Core Math took the biggest criticism from parents and teachers, and that's exactly where the scores on the international PISA test FELL. Common Core did measurable damage to our students' performance on international tests.
2018 is a year for administration of the PISA. I know math is in the fall, not sure of the whole schedule. But whatever damage common core has done is behind us as of this next set of scores.
What "works" with this approach is that kids don't hate school as much. When you start letting them flower according to their own interests and skills, you get excellence in everyone. Just not in the same things.

Personalized Learning What is Personalized Learning? Personalized learning is the structuring of schools, classrooms, and instruction so we can better respond to the individual needs of students. Personalized learning shifts from a one-size-fits-all model of education to one which better prepares students for the jobs and needs of the future. Why Personalized Learning? To ensure each student achieves their highest potential, we create a student-centered environment that engages, inspires and empowers all learners based on their unique needs and strengths. Core Four There are four elements of personalized learning: Targeted Instruction – Education aligns to specific student needs and learning goals Data Driven Decisions – Frequent data collection informs instructional decisions and groupings Student Reflection and Ownership – Ongoing student reflection encourages ownership of learning Flexible Content and Tools – Instructional materials allow for differentiated path, pace, and performance tasks |
