Zarra delves into the zseedsy that produced the Common Core Standards, as well as the groups involved in the political and corporate pressure to completely revamp America’s K-16 education system. The author lays out a strong case for political motives involving the advancement for nationalized education, such as those found in select European and Asian nations. Zarra also follows the funding and provides solid documentation and analysis of international and national assessments, and how the funding and assessments proved pivotal in the overhaul of American education. After an analysis of the underpinnings of the Common Core Standards, Zarra critiques the myths and facts of the Common Core, and balances these with the emerging realities impacting average Americans and their families. Zarra’s book is a must-read and will prove to be extremely useful to all who are concerned about public, private, and homeschool education in America. - Publisher. 650 0 Common Core State Standards (Education) 650 0 Education|xStandards|zUnited States. 907 .b76522647|b01-18-17|c10-02-15 910 OCLC BibNote|bMaster record encoding level change 910 RDA ENRICHED 910 ybp 910 Backstage 910 TOC 910 Hathi Trust report SPM 910 BrownU 970 01 |tList of Tables|pix 970 01 |tForeword|pxi 970 01 |tPreface|pxiii 970 01 |tAcknowledgments|pxix 970 11 |l1.|tSeeds of the Common Core|p1 970 11 |l2.|tAssessments: The Impetus for Change|p33 970 11 |l3.|tPreparing Twenty-First-Century College- and Career- Ready Students|p63 970 11 |l4.|tFollow the Funding: Common Core Creation to Implementation|p95 970 11 |l5.|tThe Core of the Core|p129 970 11 |l6.|tThe Common Core Standards|p171 970 11 |l7.|tCommon Core Myths, Facts, and Realities|p203 970 11 |l8.|tCommon Core Considerations, Constituencies, and Competition|p245 970 01 |tAbout the Author|p269 998 r0001|b10-02-15|cm|da|e-|feng|gmdu|h4|i1 998 r0001|b10-02-15|cm|da|e-|feng|gmdu|h4|i1
