Here are just a few of the dire implications of Common Core State Standards for teachers:

• „CCSS has embedded pedagogy or “how to teach” information that mandates exactly what and how teachers should teach
• „Assessments will ensure that teachers follow the embedded pedagogy to the letter or they will suffer consequences
• „Performance of students on CCSS standardized tests will impact merit pay and promotions for teachers
• „Teachers will not be able to individualize curriculum to students
• „Teachers will not be able to be creative in how they deliver lessons
• „Teachers and Students seen as peers
• Education now more about filling a bucket than lighting a fire
