Why The NDE Failed to Show up for Common Core Forum
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Mon, 02/02/2015 - 2:21pmWhat happened at the Common Core Forum in Carson City on 1/13/15
The ground rules agreed to by both sides for the two forums: two people would participate on each side of the issue. The pro side would contain two policy makers from either the Nevada Department of Education (NDE) or the Nevada State Board of Education; the con side would contain Drs. Stotsky and Milgram. Drs. Stotsky and Milgram were the only two members of Common Core’s Validation Committee who are content area specialists and who have also written high K-12 standards.
It's time for a real Common Core symposium
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Fri, 01/16/2015 - 2:39amPeter Hennessey, Ann Bedarski, Sandra Stotsky, James Milgram and the other anti-Common Core activists in attendance at PK O'Neill's symposium Tuesday night were there to stage a demonstration against the K-12 standards, which, it should be remembered, were adopted unanimously by the state board of education four years ago and enthusiastically signed off on by the Governor Gibbons.
All we got out of the Common Core 'symposium' was a one-sided presentation

JUDY OSGOOD, Public Information Officer, Nevada Department of Educa_on
STEVE CANAVERO, Deputy Superintendent of Student Achievement, NDE
AMY SALGO, Teacher Ambassador, NDE
