Judges’ Comments

“Sarah Carr does an unusually good job covering the adoption of the Common Core. She is one of the few writers who, in my view, escapes the trap of vague educational jargon and explains concretely and exactly how the Common Core classroom, homework and teaching is different.”

“I though the piece documenting teaching colleges’ failure to change their curriculum to meet new rules was especially important.”
