The Common Core and the Grand Canyon

MSTE Friday Lunches are paused indefinitely, but you can still find historical archives, including videos, on this site.

Date:

Speakers: 

Talk Description: 

Peter Braunfeld will be leading a discussion about Common Core. The Common Core Mission Statement asserts that "the standards are designed to be robust, and relevant to the real world." But a sampling of the Common Core test items utterly fails to support this thesis. This seminar is designed to help attendees understand the abyss between pious hopes and dismal reality.
