¶ … National and State Subject Matter Content Standards for Math
According to the California standards for high school students, the geometry curriculum contains six critical components: "to establish criteria for congruence of triangles based on rigid motions; establish criteria for similarity of triangles based on dilations and proportional reasoning; informally develop explanations of circumference, area, and volume formulas; apply the Pythagorean Theorem to the coordinate plan; prove basic geometric theorems; and extend work with probability" (Common Core Standards, California Department of Education: 69). The elucidated standards are often quite specific in terms of how students are asked to apply basic concepts such as measuring angles; understanding the different properties of parallel lines; and manipulating various polygons. Not only must the students prove theorems but they must also be able to construct such shapes using a variety of methods in a hands-on fashion (Common Core Standards, 2013, California Department of Education: 70).
Deeper understanding as well as superficial understanding must be demonstrated; the core requirements are conceptual as well as highly specific. This can be...
In many areas, common core standards are replicated verbatim on both websites. Regarding the need to model with geometry, even the same example is used both in the California and the federal standards, the first of which is to "use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder)" (Common Core Standards, Official Website CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-MG.A.1; California Department of Education 75). But on the California website, California-specific standards are noted in bold typeface and emphasize more the additional, specific hands-on applications students must demonstrate…

Certain states have very high risks for students and there even three quarters or more of the teachers report about this high pressure, whereas in states where the stakes are low, the report of pressure is for half the students or less. The pressure on the teachers is also reflected in the position taken by elementary and middle school teachers who were more positive about the changes than high
(Holland, 2002) Opponents of national board certification argue that these schools place only passing emphasis on future teachers' mastery of the subject matter they will teach their students. Those are, of course, the same educational programs from which many of the current education officials themselves graduated. Of course, they are loathe to admit that there are more intellectually productive routes to fulfilling, productive teaching careers according to Robert Holland. (Holland,
The analytics that each of the league's teams marketing departments use also pinpoint the most and least interesting aspects or content (both digitally written and video-based) delivered across the website and microsites. The league marketing teams have also experimented with more interactive experiences with passive spectators, focused experiencers and absorbed identifiers through the use of social media. This also validates the findings of Napoli with regard to the egalitarianism of
Human Trafficking The State Department of the U.S. Government has for the past ten years issued an annual report on the state of laws governing human trafficking. The latest report shows that most of the world's industrialized countries have enacted laws to protect against human trafficking. This includes recognizing that human trafficking is a problem and having taken steps to address the issue (Wu & Zifcak, 2010). Most countries in the
Middle School Common Core Standards for English Language Arts There is a growing consensus among middle school educators, including the National Education Association, that English language arts form the foundation for all other academic achievements. Consequently, it is not surprising that there has been a great deal of scholarship devoted to identifying optimal approaches to teaching English language arts over the years. One of the most influential outcomes of this
