Question 38

The vast majority of states and the District of Columbia have adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for math and English language arts. Do teachers support the CCSS? In March 2003, The American Federal of Teachers (AFT) asked AFT member teachers "Based on what you know about the Common Core State Standards and the expectations they set for children, do you approve or disapprove of your state's decision to adopt them?
" The following results were reported in American Educator (Volume 32, No. 2, Summer 2013, pg. 3): 27% Strongly Approve; 48% Somewhat Approve; 14% Somewhat Disapprove; 8% Strongly Approve; 3% Not Sure.
