Common core standards see (small) delay

Flypaper's Amber Winkler reports from a briefing this morning on the status of the Common Core language arts and mathematics standards:

1. The K-12 back-mapped standards in reading and in math will be released for public comment on January 4th.
2. “Early” February is still the timeline for the final draft of both the end-of-high-school standards and the back-mapped ones in both subjects.

That's not a big delay from the original timeline of being done by December 2009, but it does mean the Kentucky Board of Education will not meet the Senate Bill 1 deadline for new mathematics standards.
