Gov. calls for committee to examine issues in Common Core
ALBANY – With the start of a new school year now less than a week away, the debate over Common Core is flaring up again.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday that while he’s on board with the mission of the controversial Common Core standards, he’s in disagreement with how they were rolled out by the State Education Department, calling the implementation “deeply flawed.”
“A growing chorus of experts have questioned the intelligence of SED’s Common Core program and objective educators across the state have found the implementation problematic, to say the least,” Cuomo said, adding that he sympathizes with the frustration felt by parents across the state. “The fact is that the current Common Core program in New York is not working, and must be fixed.”
Cuomo has employed a subgroup of the state’s Education Commission comprised of teachers, parents and the NYS Commissioner of Education and legislators to review issues surrounding Common Core – including curriculum, guidance, testing and implementation – and make recommendations.
Meanwhile, newly appointed Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia has said Common Core isn’t going away. She is currently advocating for Common Core through sit-down discussions with concerned parents and educators in many parts of the state.
“The most important thing is to listen to see what the issues are,” said Elia.
Elia has also said there may be changes in the future, but isn’t sure yet what those changes might be.
