Last summer I was called upon to be a state presenter. It was the first time I was asked to do this in over 35 years of teaching. I am a state kindergarten teacher. They trained many kindergarten teachers statewide and we trained others. The next generation standards are wonderful. There is no reason to hold back. Our teachers loved and welcomed the new changes.
They are grade level appropriate. They came up with ways to promote more innovators. State educators have been very receptive to the changes. Our state has a plan in place to train every grade level over the next few years in next generation standards.


This is a positive thing introduced by the Obama Administration!
