ALBANY — New York education leaders approved English and math
standards Monday for students in prekindergarten through 12th grade, not
quite replacing but substantially revising the controversial Common
Core standards that rolled out in classrooms statewide five years ago.
The approval by the state Board of Regents follows two years of
review and revision by more than 100 teachers, administrators, parents
and early childhood specialists across the state.
Dubbed the Next Generation Learning Standards, the new
standards dictate what students should know and be able to do by the end
of each grade and were designed to make up for what the previous
standards lacked — an emphasis on play and curiosity among young
students, age-appropriate education, and flexibility when it comes to
measuring students of different abilities and languages.
