I just got word from the state that NYS is implementing Achieve's
traditional pathway (Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II) as outlined in
Appendix A at
http://www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/common_core_standards/pdfdocs/ccssi_mathematics_appendix_a.pdf
.
The timeline for the first administrations of Algebra I and Geometry are
Algebra I June 2013 and Geometry June 2014. This info can be found on the
state website in their timeline at

That's not necessarily what the new york state breakdown will be.

There is an Appendix A to the CCLS for math that breaks it down by course.
You
can find it by doing a search on the engageny website.

Subject: Re: Common Core
I've run through all of the documentation both from the Common Core and
from New
York State on engageny.org and the important question of what we're
teaching in
which course is very much unanswered. The documentation has all of high
school
math laid out by overarching topic and not by course. The only
documentation I
can find by course are those documents kindly posted by www.jmap.org, and
that
documentation is a draft with lots of cross outs and ambiguities. If I am
not
looking in the right spot on the engaging website, please point me in the
right
direction :)
While I believe in the Common Core, it will only be successful in New York
if
teachers know what they are responsible for teaching in each course. The
current
documentation is inexcusably nebulous and quite unhelpful in deciding the
direction of our year-to-year curricula.
The other concern I have with the Common Core is that it seems as though
it is
being phased in all at once. I would argue that kids coming from the
eighth
grade into the new algebra course as outlined by the JMAP documents are in
for a
rude awakening in terms of what they are being asked to do and understand.
This
is why it is critical that NYSED do a lot more than it has done in terms
of
getting districts and teachers ready for the Core.
