HAVE YOU already heard about the common core state standard learning model? If you have not yet heard about it then please read as it may help you get inspiratio­n and be inspiring to other fellows. Common core state standard is the model that standardiz­es language arts and mathematic­s lessons across the United States so that students will have expected learning goals from kindergart­en to twelfth grade. The new standard creates an avenue for students to learn and excel in processes that will assure them to be career and college ready.

In t he common core standard, t eachers are required to teach particular­ly Math by focusing more on and met someone covering concepts more deeply rather than racing to cover a broad spectrum of topics. This will ensure that students will strongly and better understand the Math subjects being covered. The said Math standard also is conceptual­ized to progressiv­ely teach students each passing grade that builds upon the last.

This is to ensure that students will focus on reading assignment­s gearing more towards non- fiction writing that just taking home has been pronounced­ly taught by focusing more on academic and scientific writing to prepare students for college level reading. The English standard is at its depth because it also focuses more on evidence- based writing, leaning students towards more i nformative and argumentat­ive writing styles.

Here say that we have not yet fully embraced and optimize the advantages of the K- 12 program with its own set of standard but I cannot also help but acknowledg­e the beauty and strength of this common core standard as a potential medium for Filipino students.

When q new standard is introduced it is always hard to embrace. It requires extra planning on the educator’s part and an open mind f rom parents and other stakeholde­rs involved. The good thing about having a new standard or pattern existing ones with a twist of the acclaimed ones from other countries is that the end goal is to make quality the education that is the right
