(Long Island, NY) “We look forward to working through these recommendations. We were adamant that the state not rush to link teacher evaluations with the acknowledged flawed roll out of the Common Core. Our priority has always been to provide New York’s students and educators with the resources, support and guidance they require to ensure the next generation of New Yorkers are prepared for the challenges of the future.”
