The Roadmap to Understanding Common Core Bill Gates, a Global - PDF document

The Roadmap to Understanding Common Core Bill Gates, a Global Socialist, is intricately involved in the development of the CCSS Initiative. Here is a good history of his work with the UN, UNESCO,the Federal Govt, etc in the development an implementation of the CCSS Initiative. http://www.utahnsagainstcommoncore.com/the-common-core-lie/ MUST WATCH VIDEO … BILL GATES … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtTK_6VKpf4 Bill Gates video ( @ 2009 National Conference of State Legislators) explaining that the CC standards and nationalized testing will lead to nationalized CURRICULUM and Data Collection. Listen to this explanation..... in his own words http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtTK_6VKpf4 please send this video to GOV JINDAL..... demanding that he get us OUT of this plan for nationalized education that will result in a "federal curriculum" When every state has the same standards, the same testing, the same curriculum, and the same data collection...... what else can you call it but FEDERAL EDUCATION DATA MINING: WATCH THIS VIDEO http://whatiscommoncore.wordpress.com/2013/10/14/video-arkansas-teen- scholar-against-common-core/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook Prezi Presentation : “The Roadmap to Understanding Common Core” ** ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW … IT TAKES TIME TO GET THRU THIS PRESENTATION ALL THE RED FLAGS/VIDEOS … . … BUT AREN ’ T KIDS WORTH THE TIME … http://prezi.com/ssrw4brbxpk0/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share FLYER: http://files.meetup.com/1387375/STAND-FOR-EDUCATIONAL-FREEDOM.pdf James Milgram/Sandra Stotsky review : an accurate and well documented discussion of the ACTUAL level of the mathematics Core Standards, and shows that, as the lead writer claimed in March 2010, the standards document is "Not only not for STEM, its also not for selective colleges. http://files.meetup.com/1387375/ZimbaMilgramStotskyFinal.pdf BROOKINGS INSTITUTE: http://www.schoolimprovement.com/common-core-360/blog/common-core-brookings- study/ “ So, essentially, the Brookings Institute finds, based upon the past success of individual states’ standards, that standards, and subsequently the Common Core, don’t affect student achievement in any way, and that they don’t level the educational playing field”. HERITAGE FOUNDATION: http://blog.heritage.org/2013/09/05/pdkgallup-poll-reveals-a-nation-confused-on-the- common-core-national-standards/ “ But as implementation of the new centralized standards moves forward, parents will soon learn what’s in C ommon Core, and taxpayers will learn what it will cost them. Common Core is yet another top-down approach to education reform. American citizens were not engaged in the decision-making process to adopt the standards. Rather, state officials were enticed to adopt the standards through (1) stimulus funding and (2) a process that completely circumvented Congress: the Administration offering No Child Left Behind waivers to states that agreed to adopt common standards. Centralized education is not conducive to the American model of self-government. Self-government in education requires empowering families with educational opportunity to make sure their children can inherit the blessings of a free society. PIONEER INSTITUTE : http://pioneerinstitute.org/featured/new-research-on-common-core-damaging-statelocal- school-autonomy/ The United States Department of Education (USED) should be prohibited from making adoption of national English and math standards known as Common Core a condition or incentive for receipt of federal funding, and both USED and organizations like the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, whose dues are paid with taxpayer funds, should make public the amount of time and money they have invested in promoting Common Core according to a new study published by Pioneer Institute.

HSLDA : http://www.hslda.org/cms/?q=blog/common-core-how-does-it-affect-you Common Core proponents offer upbeat descriptions of utopian educational goals along with detailed practical lists of what students should know and be able to do in grades K – 12 in mathematics and English language arts. But those goals and standards are just two facets of the conglomeration of federal funding, preschool – workforce invasive student tracking, and one-size-fits-all computer-based learning that has become the Common Core. https://app.box.com/shared/uzasx1qp56 CATO INSTITUTE : http://www.cato.org/events/common-core-de-facto-federal-control-americas-schools The Common Core: De Facto Federal Control of America’s Schools :The Constitution gives the federal government no authority to govern education, and numerous laws prohibit Washington from influencing school curricula. How has the federal government gotten around these barriers? Primarily by attaching demands to federal money, which is exactly what it did to get states to adopt the supposedly “state - led” and “voluntary” Common Core curriculum standards. This unprecedented drive to national uniformity is dangerous for many reasons, not the least of which is that it puts Washington in control of what almost all schools teach. AMERICAN PRINCIPLES PROJECT: http://americanprinciplesproject.org/preserve- innocence/2012/video-series-why-the-common-core-must-be-stopped/ TheAmerican Principles Project (APP), the Heartland Institute and Pioneer Institute, co-hosted a one-day conference at Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, to discuss the destructive implications of the Common Core Standards and the future of the education of America’s youth. Video Series: Why The Common Core Must Be Stopped http://americanprinciplesproject.org/preserve- innocence/2012/video-series-why-the-common-core-must-be-stopped/ Professor Nick Tampio Speaks on Outrages of Common Core – HuffPostLive Video: http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/race-to-the-top-failed-education-reform/523a0383fe3444589700024f Fast forward to minute 9 where Professor Nick Tampio of Fordham University speaks, in this video segment from HuffPost Live entitled “Race to the FLOP Mark Naison, a professor at Fordham University and an expert on the Common Core movement, told TakePart that opposition is gr owing, and more states like Texas may very well reverse their adoption of the standards.“ Because Common Core Standards are being imposed without trial implementation to test their effectiveness, or even see what they mean ‘on they ground’ in actual schools and school districts, they are looking more and more like a full-court press from the government and large corporations overriding the long-standing tradition of local control over public schools,” he said.“What makes this even more suspect is that test c ompanies like Pearson stand to make huge profits from their implementation. Given this, we can expect opposition to the standards to grow, not diminish in coming years.” http://www.takepart.com/article/2013/05/28/common-core-state- standards-what-states-are-saying-no-thank-you APP’s RESPONSE TO THE FOUNDATION FOR EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION’s “SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS” http://files.meetup.com/1387375/FEEE%20response.pdf http://hechingerreport.org/content/why-states-are-backing-out-on-common-standards-and- tests_12895/ When 45 states and the District of Columbia quickly adopted Common Core in their pursuit of federal largesse, it seemed the common standards and tests would take the country by storm. Fast-forward three years, and the nation is split between higher-performing states chafing at the prospect of less rigorous standards leading to declining student performance, and their lower-performing counterparts that are unwilling or unable to fund the transition to Common Core tests.
