Weingarten to give major speech on Common Core

On Tuesday, April 30, AFT president Randi Weingarten will deliver a major speech in New York City on the Common Core State Standards. In her speech, which is sponsored by the Association for a Better New York, Weingarten will discuss why the Common Core standards are vital and why prematurely testing students using the new standards is a mistake being made in New York and elsewhere. She will make specific recommendations to ensure that the standards lead to success for students, teachers and schools.
