Schools in the Spotlight

New academic standards could be on the way for 48 states including Wisconsin. A group of educators working for the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers today released proposed common academic standards. The standards detail what American public school students should learn in math and English from kindergarten through high school. The Obama administration endorses the standards.

They can be seen on the Common Core State Standards Initiative site.

Alaska and Texas are the only states not taking part in the standards re-write effort.
