Common Core in Ohio

Cincinnati.com reports that John Frye, Director of Staff and Pupil Services for the New Richmond Exempted Village School District, said the Common Core goals are internationally benchmarked and emulate expectations found in high performing systems abroad, but do not call for a specific curriculum or reading list. “Rather, they lay out an ambitious set of goals for the math, reading and writing skills that children should acquire as they move through school,” he said.
