The results of a State Education Department survey that invited educators and parents to weigh in on the Common Core Learning Standards indicate that the standards for the early grades are in need of the greatest revision.

The online survey known as AIMHighNY, which the UFT asked its members to participate in, was part of a legally mandated review of the Common Core in New York State.

The State Education Department reported that 71 percent of respondents are supportive of the standards while 29 percent expressed disagreement with specific standards. The ELA standards for the early grades elicited three times as many critical comments as the math standards did, state officials reported.

“The preliminary data from AIMHighNY show there is strong support for higher learning standards for New York’s students,” State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia said in a statement. “However, the survey findings also indicate that adjustments are necessary, particularly in the early grades, to ensure our standards make sense for our students and schools.”

More than 10,000 people participated in the survey, nearly half of them teachers.

Critics of the survey point out that it kept the focus narrow by asking respondents to comment on 2,000 separate standards — in total, the state received almost 250,000 individual pieces of feedback — rather than the relationship between the standards, state tests and teacher evaluations.
