For those of you who wonder why students don't seem to "know" anything about their world, many like me would cite the lack of a common core of knowledge that is taught along with reading.
Thus, the news from the Core Knowledge Foundation is great: "After more than two decades of publishing and distributing its K-8 Core Knowledge Sequence exclusively to Core Knowledge schools, the Foundation is planning to make its proprietary curriculum available for free online."
This breakthrough comes at a time when the Common Core State Standards are about to be released. The Core Knowledge website will be relaunched at the end of February. To read more, go to The Core Knowledge Blog.
Stay tuned.
