First let me say; this team must extend a great debt of gratitude to the people that have come before us to educate the citizens of America about Common Core. We here in Tennessee would never be able to speak intelligently about Common Core without the ground work that was done by these people.

This is the best resource if you want to know how we got to where we are today and why. We would not know what we know today about education if it were not for "whistleblower" Charlotte Iserbyt.

Dr. Terrence Moore is employed at Hillsdale College. I highly recommend watching his presentations on You Tube. He brings out points we are missing when it comes to teaching literature to our children.
Dr. Chris Tienken from Seton Hall University is an expert on NAEP-TIMSS-PISA assessments. His website is an excellent resource for information on American and international testing and the truth about America's standing in the world. He also has incredible research on Charter Schools.

At one time Diane Ravitch was a staunch supporter of Charter Schools. She has since reversed her opinion about many of the education reforms she once promoted.
