bluskyzI see standards at tip of iceberg. Real meaningful learning takes place below the surface - much bigger. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1370508964/Katie_profile_1_normal.jpgTue May 15 01:10:10 +0000 2012

fsjeileencommon core would allow you to take them from where they are to where they need to go. Testing would b the issue I bet. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1880447496/anne_normal.jpgTue May 15 01:10:19 +0000 2012

bluskyzTchrs need to be willing & allowed to go further/deeper tho - standards should not narrow/limit curric. They're departure point. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1370508964/Katie_profile_1_normal.jpgTue May 15 01:12:32 +0000 2012

hechternacht@bluskyz this is what I am worried about- is it the perception or where is that message coming from? #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1811032829/hteach_normal.jpgTue May 15 01:23:55 +0000 2012

MauiMickey@alexisvorhaus @Garrioch I look at LO's/standards as a framework, and it's my job to adapt method of learning for the students. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2040313266/MauiMickey_normal.jpgTue May 15 01:24:28 +0000 2012

Mr_Fines@KCanRead I think that many are doing what CC describes. If anything, it may bring outliers closer to a target. #kinderchathttp://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/1645866175/DSCF0044_normal.JPGTue May 15 01:24:53 +0000 2012
