our main issues have had educa- tors and parents worried for years: Fhigh drop-out rates, inconsistent standards across the country, work that was too easy, and high-pressure exams which did not always refl ect a student’s a true ability nor provide a meaningful comparison to other student work. What we call Common Core is the re- form movement addressing those issues. The effort began at the state level, led by governors and education commission- ers. From the very beginning, the states made an effort to work cooperative- ly with one another by emphasizing the value of sharing experiences and best practices. Florida was an early leader in developing the multiple-state Partner- ship for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career. Unfortunately, Gov. Rick Scott, us- ing an executive order, withdrew Flori- da from the partnership and abandoned the effort to cooperate with other states. Instead, Florida commissioned a test of its own, the results of which cannot be compared to other tests. In other words, Florida’s version of the YOUR VIEWS Common Core isn’t very common.
