The history for this was on the Coleman "educator" page which has been removed since the change back to "consultant" (which I agree with, for the reasons quoted by Stotsky below), so you cannot see that the original statement which was edited had said that "teachers" were among those involved in writing the Common Core standards. In fact, there were no teachers in the work groups that developed the standards. On the feedback committees, which served in advisory capacities only, there were no English teachers. There was only one teacher involved, a middle school Math teacher who was on the Math feedback committee. The HuffPost article that was cited described this and a commenter there provided lists of the names, titles and affiliations of members of the working/development groups and feedback committees. This has all been confirmed by Sandra Stotsky, who served on the Common Core Validation Committee, in her testimony to several state legislatures, including in Indiana. Regarding the writing of the English Language Arts (ELA) standards, she stated, "...Nor were the chief writers of Common Core’s ELA standards qualified to write K-12 ELA standards and determine college readiness. Neither has ever taught in K-12 or in higher education." <http://www.uaedreform.org/wp-content/uploads/2000/01/Stotsky-Invited-Testimony-for-a-Hearing-on-Common-Core-in-Indiana.pdf> The make up of the people who developed the Common Core is fact, not "fabrication" or "deceptive." Coleman, who was on the ELA development committee, is not a trained, experienced K-20 educator and neither were the others who wrote those standards. Consequently, the sentence was changed from "teachers" to "a teacher" in reference to the middle school Math teacher on the Math feedback committee. Professor_wise (talk) 21:55, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
