American schools have been seeing a fall in academic standards for many years. Both parents and educators are concerned about this trend and are ready to see steps to reverse it. The New York City common core standards are a bold new initiative to address the problems and bring every student up to a high level of achievement.
A high standard is important for everyone. Many people, both parents and educators, have been concerned with the idea of trying to set a level that was both challenging and realistic. With so many children of such different levels working together in the cities classrooms, it is vital to plan carefully and be ready to serve the needs of all students.
Children with disabilities and other learning problems are also going to receive help under the new program. Small group instruction, more highly trained teachers and specific learning strategies will be utilized on a daily basis. One of the most important factors is early identification of struggling students. A child with dyslexia can be spotted as early as kindergarten and given a remediation program to help them become a strong and fluent reader.
Teachers are also receiving training to help them make the transition to the new standards. They are also being given new materials that will help them teach effectively. Classrooms are buzzing with the enthusiasm of both educators and students who are busy learning and enjoying the challenging new work. When presented in a structured and systematic fashion, most children are very able to learn even the higher level work.
The new plan has been carefully formulated to address all areas of the curriculum. This includes English language arts, mathematics, science, technology, history and social studies. A well defined level of achievement is set out for each grade and begins with first grade. The students will be following a thorough and comprehensive program which will be delivered by highly trained teachers using high quality materials.
The new policies were developed with the cooperation of several different government agencies. The National Governors Association and Center for Best Practices have worked closely with the Council of Chief State School Offices. The many experienced personnel in these departments have spent countless hours working hard to produce a set of standards that are both challenging and achievable.
There is also a comprehensive program and set of standards for the sixth through twelfth graders. They will be introduced to great literature through Shakespeare and the famous American dramatists. Their social studies will focus on government and include the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Learning about the history of their nation is an important step for any student.
By the sixth grade they will be introduced to Shakespeare and the American dramatists. The New York City common core standards will also focus on reading and understanding the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Lincoln's second Inaugural Address will also be part of the sixth to twelfth grade language arts curriculum.
