Kim Miller, the Chief Academic Officer for Dublin City Schools, informed the club about how the Common Core Curriculum and the new State-Mandated Testing are being implemented and administered in our schools. Briefly, the Common Core sets a high level of achievement that all schools in the country should have their students in different areas, without setting out the exact subjects taught; while Dublin Schools often push students to go beyond this level, teachers l.ike the direction and rigor the Common Core has brought. State mandated testing has brought challenges that are difficult to face in an increasingly large and diverse district.
