The good news is that both the Democrats and Republicans had ISSUES with ASSESSING “Dispositions”. That word was removed with an amendment.Unfortunately schools will be labeled “Priority” and “Focus” schools based upon the standardized assessment results.
This means that if your students do not perform well on the standardized assessment that is ALIGNED TO COMMON CORE, your school could end up identified as a “Priority or Focus” school.

National Education Standards
Guest Post: Ann Marie Banfield
Dear Editor:
At the last Bedford School Board Meeting, the Board was presented information on the adoption of National Standards.
The New Hampshire Department of Education recently voted to approve the adoption of Common Core Standards in Math and English. During the testimony before the NH DOE, several people testified that the New Hampshire State Standards were not adequate. The Fordham Foundation agreed and gave NH math standards a "D".
Under Governor Lynch, the NH DOE set the bar incredibly low. While other states moved to improve their standards to an "A" level, our DOE was content to leave the bar low.
