Common Core – This Too Shall Pass

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Josh Stumpenhorst

Everywhere you look in education you see the words Common Core. It is plastered on the covers of textbook and workbooks being pushed by publishers.

Most people are going to assume that I would said we need to get rid of standardized testing or get rid […]

The Streak

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Josh Stumpenhorst
