A new study analyzing the previous math standards of each
state provides strong support for adoption of common standards, which
U.S. students desperately need to keep pace with their counterparts
around the globe.
Forty-six states are implementing the Common Core math and reading
standards, which nonetheless have come under fire recently by some
researchers and would-be politicians.
But William Schmidt, MSU Distinguished Professor of statistics and
education, said the Common Core is a world-class set of standards.
"We can't yet prove anything about the Common Core standards because
they're just now being implemented, but if we look back we find that
those states that were closest to the Common Core on average did better
on the 2009 NAEP test (National Assessment of Educational Progress),"
Schmidt said.
