Since reporting on the myths of the Common Core yesterday in the Chronicle, the state’s legislature has acted on the plan, putting off the implementation of certain parts of the program, giving parents, teachers and administrators time to have further dialogue and learn the program.

As reported by Capital NY,

“After five hours of debate, the State Assembly passed its bill to delay some aspects of Common Core on Wednesday night by a vote of 117-10, after first defeating a Republican amendment that would have withdrawn New York from the standards altogether.

Among other provisions, the bill removes Common Core-aligned test scores from teacher and principal evaluations for two years and prohibits the state Education Department from sharing student information with third-party vendors for one year.”
