Mary Avalos Knows Standards
Florida’s new governor eliminated Common Core. In her Miami Herald op-ed, Mary Avalos responded to the announcement’s basic errors. Mary is Professor of Teaching and Learning at the University of Miami. Her heavily re-Tweeted op-ed in the Miami Herald challenged the Governor and suggested a path forward. Mary hits on the strengths of functional grammar, the maker movement, the challenges of English learners and, the greatest goal of measurement in schools, creating classroom-based assessments that drive instruction. Mary joins John for a discussion that dabbles in policy and dives into professionalism.
