- CSULA CCSSM-STEM Conference Angelo Segalla March 14, 2014 The
Growing Pushback to Common Core Hard Core Professional Development
Needed to Push Back the Pushback
- Slide 2
- CCSSM, Dj Vu all over again... ? As with the New Math ? S = { x
| x Educational Junkyard} Just saying
- Slide 3
- Communist Core is NOT about Education... it is about
CONTROL.

- Professional Development that o leads to PUFM (Liping Ma)
Professional Development o concentrates on contenton the math o
content pedagogy Professional Development that o trains teachers to
leave FOIL and PEMDAS behind Professional Development that o trains
teachers not to start with pizzas to illustrate fractions o trains
teachers not to use the LCD in the definition of addition of
fractions o trains teachers to encourage kids to add fractions the
way we add whole numbers on the number line Professional
Development that o trains teachers to motivate slope with similar
triangles Professional Development that o trains teachers not make
manipulatives the centerpiece of multiplication of binomials
- Slide 10
- People Magazine Textbooks Lots of pictures... lots of color...
Does this distract or enhance learning? This has not changed with
the new California textbooks adopted I know, I was there Summer
2013 Do the new adoptions align with CCSSM? No! Professor H.S. Wu
calls this a de facto national curriculum TSM (Textbook School
Mathematics). o See H. Wu, Bringing the Common Core State
Mathematics Standards to Life. American Educator, Fall 2011, Vol.
35, No. 3, pp. 3-13.
- Slide 11
- Adoption of CCSSM does not imply successful implementation
Strong PD programs for implementation include well written
textbooks and instructional materials (My experience) many (most?)
2013 CA adopted mathematics textbooks and materials for grades 6-8
are not CCSSM aligned
- Slide 12
- Remember...
- Slide 13
- Overall, however, the evidence suggests a positive relationship
between teachers mathematical knowledge and gains in student
achievement.
- Slide 14
- A critical component of this recommendation is that teachers be
given ample opportunities to learn mathematics for teaching.

- Slide 16
- A word from Professor MacCallum Main challenge ensuring
teachers are ready to handle a tougher set of requirements for
their students. [Teachers] are going to be called on to have a
deeper understanding of what the math is all about For many states,
these are simply higher standards than they had before. That in
itself is a hard thing.
