Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has launched a Common Core Task Force to make recommendations to overhaul the controversial Common Core system.

It will include education officials, teachers, parents, and state representatives from across New York.

The task force will deliver its final recommendations by the end of this year, Cuomo said.

The Common Core program’s flawed rollout by the State Education Department has caused disruption and anxiety that must be fixed, including testing aligned to the standards,” Cuomo said in a prepared statement.

Cuomo says the task force’s job includes:

• Review and reform the Common Core State Standards;

• Review New York State’s curriculum guidance and resources;

• Develop a process to ensure tests fit curricula and standards;

• Examine the impact of the current moratorium on recording Common Core test scores on student records, and make a recommendation as to whether it should be extended;

• Examine how the State and local districts can reduce both the quantity and duration of student tests, and develop a plan whereby districts include parents in reviewing local tests being administered to analyze those tests’ purpose and usefulness; and

• Review the quality of the tests to ensure competence and professionalism from the private company creating and supplying the tests.

“The governor has directed the task force to conduct its process as transparently as possible and to solicit and consider input from regional advisory councils comprised of parents, teachers and educators across the state,” Cuomo’s statement said.

A new website, ny.gov/CommonCoreTaskForce, will allow people to submit comments and recommendations.
