MetaMetrics Releases Policy Brief Relating to Common Core Implementation

MetaMetrics has released a new Policy Brief titled Looking Worse Before We Look Better: Student Performance in a Common Core World. As states move from adoption of the Common Core State Standards to implementation, there are critical transitional steps that will loom large in the success or failure of this movement. Two impending events (ESEA reauthorization and the release of the common assessments from the two testing consortia) loom large in their potential impact. This policy brief examines some of the issues that will need to be addressed concerning these two events so that a crisis of confidence in the public education system can be avoided.
