7 Alabama s College- and Career- Ready Standards: Clarifying Common Core Concerns 1 Introduction Common Core Concerns Common Core could be used to increase the federal government s role in education which is properly the province of the states. The Alabama Policy Institute
8 2 Alabama s College- and Career- Ready Standards: Clarifying Common Core Concerns Common Core enables the federal government to dictate state curriculum, the approaches and materials teachers use to help kids learn.
9 Alabama s College- and Career- Ready Standards: Clarifying Common Core Concerns 3 Common Core Standards are lower than Alabama s former standards. Common Core will trample on privacy rights by collecting large amounts of information on schoolchildren from kindergarten through high school. The Alabama Policy Institute
10 4 Alabama s College- and Career- Ready Standards: Clarifying Common Core Concerns Common Core will result in unexpected cost overruns at a time when state budgets remain tight.

12 6 Alabama s College- and Career- Ready Standards: Clarifying Common Core Concerns
13 Alabama s College- and Career- Ready Standards: Clarifying Common Core Concerns 7 Common Core s assessments or Alabama s ACT-aligned assessment will have a negative impact on private schools and homeschoolers. The Alabama Policy Institute
14 8 Alabama s College- and Career- Ready Standards: Clarifying Common Core Concerns Options to Address Common Core Concerns Clearly communicate to the federal government that Alabama s education standards are solely determined by the Alabama State Board of Education as duly elected by the people of Alabama. Reject federal funds or regulatory relief tied to adopting top-down education standards. Encourage Alabama s federal delegation to support the state s role in establishing and maintaining its own standards and curriculum.
15 Alabama s College- and Career- Ready Standards: Clarifying Common Core Concerns 9 Recognize the State Board of Education as the primary authority on education standards and hold them accountable for the results. Respect the broad range of perspectives related to education policy in Alabama. The Alabama Policy Institute
