Does three times four equal eleven? Will “fuzzy math” leave our students two years behind other countries? Will literature vanish from the English class? Is gifted-and-talented education dying? A barrel of rumors and myths about curriculum has made its way into discussions of the Common Core State Standards for math and English language arts. Experts will tackle these fears and claims at Fordham on October 23, 2013. Hear from Jason Zimba on math myths, Tim Shanahan on the texts that teachers may assign, and a panel of practicing K–12 educators for an early look at Common Core implementation in their states and districts.
 
Tentative schedule:
 
1:00     Common Core math myths: A conversation with Jason Zimba
 
2:00     Are teachers assigning Common Core aligned texts? A conversation with Tim Shanahan
 
3:00     An early look at Common Core implementation: A panel discussion
