One of the more ambitious and controversial curriculum development projects in recent times has been the development of the Common Core State Standards. Designed to ensure today’s public school students are college and/or career ready when they graduate from high school, CCSS have proponents as well as critics. In Orstein, Pajak, and Orstein, Robert Rothman discusses the purpose and rationale behind the development of the CCSS. Wiles and Bondi, in several places (pp. 88–95; 155–157; 177–180) discuss both the rationale supporting the CCSS as well as the curriculum developmental process behind the CCSS. While Rothman is a strong supporter of CCSS, Wiles and Bondi take some issue with CCSS. Discuss both points of view and provide your own critique of each author’s position. How do you see CCSS impacting the future of curriculum design?
