How State Standards Get Written: Curriculum as Compromise

from Cultural Context of Knowledge Hosted by Dr. Donald Easton-Brooks

State standards are the most concentrated place in U.S. public education where decisions about other people's children get made by people who do not have to live with the consequences. This episode names curriculum as compromise, asks who is at the table when standards get written, and sketches what an accountable standards process — with community elders, classroom teachers, and learners as voting members — could look like.
