The Committee of Ten Over 120 years ago, ten educated white males got together and determined the future curriculum of elementary, middle school, and high school education in the United States. I am not sure they meant to do something that would last for 100 years, but so they did. Notice by the way that Harris and Kirkpatrick play prominent roles here. With that said, here is your task. Take a look at what the committee created. Then take a look at the standards (2020) for a NYS diploma. Looking at the City website, please note all of the different diplomas you can earn (the IEP diploma we will address next week). How do the ‘new’ standards compare to what you were required to complete for high school. Are these standards too rigorous? Are they rigorous enough? Given the pandemic and remote education, are rigorous standards attainable?
