Colleges Slow To Adapt To Common Core

Common Core

Colleges are not ready to adapt to new standards

The Common Core standards are supposed to get students ready for college. But colleges don’t seem ready for them. Five years after states across the nation began to adopt the Common Core, colleges have done little to align their admissions criteria, curricula or educational policies with the new standards. (Politico, March 9)

But this is the first year of new Common Core Assessments, and I expect the pace of change to pick up after this.
