Bills To Address Problems With Common Core Passed

The Maryland General Assembly has approved measures to address concerns with the education program known as Common Core.

The Senate gave final approval on Wednesday to three bills.

One measure ensures state test scores won't be used in teacher and principal evaluations for at least the next two years.

Another creates a workgroup to improve the implementation of Common Core, which is a set of standards defining what K-12 students should know in language arts and math by the end of each grade.

Common core is even in private schools now including Salisbury Christian School

Years ago Wicomico hired an additional assistant principal for three of its high schools to help with the extra burden of teacher evaluations under Common Core. Those ap's need to go.
