We Need a National Curriculum!
First it was common core standards. Then common core assessments. Today, the Al Shanker Institute started talking about common core curriculum. But instead of calling for a true national curriculum, the logical next step in the common core movement, they call for curriculum, defined as a "sequential set of guidelines in the core academic disciplines." is it too bold to ask for someone, anyone to come out and call for a national curriculum?
That is the question I explore this week over at the Education Debate, asking about A Common Curriculum? Check it out.
