RE:  Common Core Standards for Science

As I read the documents, one aspect of the next generation science
standards framework is that, like the last generation of science
standards, it does not pay attention to any of the NRC's 6 strands of
learning (LSIE, 2009) except the cognitive ones.  Interest, attitude, and
other strands where ISE can have big positive impacts are not in the
framework, so they will not be included in the standards themselves, and
they will not appear in the high-stakes assessments which follow.

I'd love to hear that this reading is wrong, and also I'd love to hear if
anyone has a strategy for countering this ongoing shortsighted view of how
learning happens.
