• In Event: Pushing Back as a Means of Moving Forward: Disrupting Neoliberal Pedagogical Approaches

Abstract

The adoption and implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in 45 states arguably represents the most significant educational change in American history. Successful long-term educational change requires the support and commitment of many stakeholders, especially teachers implementing any given change. This case study of a single state employs survey and interview methods to understand the teaching conditions of teachers undergoing this landmark change.
