Being a non-teacher, I had no idea about the "Race to the Top". The above link is to the White House Fact Sheet that discusses the initiative. This brief, yet informative piece gives the background regarding the need for the initiative, the contest behind the "race", and it's resulting in the Common Core standards which many states are adopting. "Common Core" was quite the buzz, but I didn't really know what it meant or what it was supposed to do. Having read this information article, I have a better understanding of the basis for this program. If all goes according to this plan, our nation's students will be better prepared and equipped for success in the 21st century.
