By common core, they meant that the curriculum should be broadly adopted (enabling improvements in instructional materials, student tests, and teacher training), but also limited (preserving instructional time for districts, schools, and teachers to address local priorities) . Among the many benefits they discussed, the most compelling was the potentialfora common core curriculum to increase educational equity. Inequity comes in many forms, but one of the most basic is an unequal opportunity to learn important content, concepts, and skills.  \nRecognizing that a common core curriculum is an essential means of increasing equity—and excellence—in America’s schools, the Albert Shanker Institute has developed the following statement calling for educators, curriculum specialists, cognitive scientists, content experts, and others to create such a curriculum. As you can see on pages 44–45, dozens of prominent educators, policymakers, researchers, and scholars have signed on to show their supportfor creating a common core curriculum.

For our nation, this represents a major advance toward declaring that “equal educational opportunity” is a top priority—not empty rhetoric.  \nWe also caution that attaining the goals provided by these standards requires a clear road map in the form of rich, common curriculum† content, along with resources to support successfully teaching all students to mastery. Shared curriculum in the core academic subjects would give shape and substance to the standards, and provide common ground for the creation of coherent, high-quality instructional supports—especially texts and other materials, assessments, and teacher training.  \nTo accomplish this, our nation must finally answer questions it has avoided for generations: What is it, precisely, that we expect all educated citizens to have learned? What explicit knowledge, skills, and understanding of content will help define the day-to-day work of teaching and learning?  \n[With U.S. education](With U.S. education)’s long history of state administration and local control, the very idea of common curriculum guidance will strike many as overly controversial.  \nThe fear of centralization, institutional rigidity, and narrow-minded political orthodoxy is deeply ingrained in our political sensibility—beginning with our Constitution’s implicit delegation of education’s governance to the states.  \nBut now, in an era when states are coming to recognize the national importance of a coherent education system, they are working together to find ways to raise expectations for all. They are showing a willingness to trade state-by-state invention and reinvention for a more shared implementation of successful practices together with the possibility of greater economies of scale—in effect, to create anew and more consistent system.  \nCommon curriculum guidance does not represent a straitjacket or a narrowing of learning possibilities.
