A Note from Deeper Learning 2014

One of the fountains of wisdom at Deeper Learning 2014 at High Tech High was Ron Berger.
He had this to say about Common Core Standards:
Regardless of what you think of the Common Core...
"for the first time every school in America is asking, Are we teaching the right stuff, and are we teaching it the right way?"

He went on to say that rather than let the corporations answer this question, it should be the individuals at this conference, the 500+ teachers and innovative educators in this room.

It is GOOD that people are asking tough questions.  It is integral that we come up with many answers.
