of common core state standards were considered in 2007 during a forum by CCSSO (Development Process). In 2009, the government started to offer financial incentives to states to sign up for the common core standards. The grant known as Race to the top got 49 states and territories to sign up for the standards sight unseen (Wood).

obfuscated as the standards don’t reveal themselves in narrow quotation…..bland, uncontroversial declarations.” (31). Wood calls it a dream “of a one-size fits all set of national education integrated with meaningful national test.” (30), which brings me to my next point, every child learns differently. The CCSS does not clearly address how slower learners, or children with disabilities will adapt to these fast paced new standards. They only offer theories. The Common Core State Standards…

One way to integrate technology into our classrooms is by delivering personalize learning for students through digital tutors, which would in theory allow teachers flexibility to roam freely in the classroom to guide students and prepare activities that would spark the curiosity…
