Question 1
The Common Core Standards are:
◦ standardized assessment tests that measure academic achievement for children in first through sixth grade.
◦ federally mandated expectations for improvement of test scores.
◦ a collection of developmentally appropriate teaching and learning methods and materials for children of all ages.
◦ a set of expected learning outcomes for each primary grade level in English/language arts and math.
Question 2
A teacher who is using "graded challenges" is one who:
◦ provides some easier and some harder activity choices to meet the needs of diverse students.
◦ asks both higher-level open-ended questions and lower-level recall questions when presenting information.
◦ allows students to work together in pairs or groups and receive a single grade.
◦ gives moderately difficult tests and activities along with informal ungraded assessments.
