The Arizona Standards Development Committee is coming to a county near you this week to hear what you think of the current Common Core based standards found in our K-12 schools. Those standards have stirred controversy and earned the scorn of teachers, parents, and education activists.
Education activists say this is your time to speak up.
The 6 Meetings this week are in: Maricopa, Mohave, La Paz, Graham/Greenlee, Santa Cruz, and Yuma counties:
- Monday November 9th 6pm
- Maricopa County: Peoria High School

Standards define the skill to be taught, curriculum is the books and other materials school choose with which to teach that standard, and pedagogy is the method a teacher uses to get kids to master the standard.
