Teachers Support New Common Core Standards

A survey of more than 20,000 teachers shows teachers across the country believe the new Common Core standards will help raise the bar for students.

USA Today reports on the positive reaction from educators so far:

A large majority of K-12 teachers say that new learning standards now being implemented in most states will improve students' thinking skills, a new survey suggests.

A poll of more than 20,000 teachers, out today from the children's publisher Scholastic Inc., finds that about three-fourths of teachers think the standards known as Common Core will improve students' abilities to reason and think critically. Only 8% say Common Core will have a negative impact on the classroom as schools retool to comply with the new standards.
