I think the common core language arts standards are going to be a great resource for teachers to use. There is less to try and cover yet the important things are still included. It is less overwhelming compared to the TN state standards for Language Arts. When looking at the TN state standards it feels almost impossible to cover all them, but the core standards seem much easier to tackle. I like how clear and to the point the state standard are for each grade. Over all I think the change to the Core Curriculum standards will be a great change.
