Bethany Bump is reporting at Capitol Confidential the New York State Education Department Wed., Oct. 21, launched an online survey seeking detailed feedback from New Yorkers on the state’s Common Core standards. The results of the survey, the department says, will be used to inform changes to the standards as the department undergoes a review of the program. The survey will be open until Nov. 30. An advisory group will review the results and then make recommendations to the department. Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia (EH-lee-uh) encouraged teachers, administrators, school board members, parents, the business community and “anyone with an interest in the future of our schools” to participate. The survey can be accessed via a new website launched by the department at NYSED [dot] gov [slash] Aim High NY.
