You are a professor of education at Florida State University. You have been hired by a gubernatorial candidate to write a research report on the common core standards and high stakes testing that has been going on in Florida for some time now, despite opposition from teachers and parents. You are to research the subject exploring the causes and effects of this trend in education. Show how events in the past have developed into the present testing situation and determine if this is in the best interest of the students. The candidate will use your findings to create his platform on education in the state and may be open to changing this model. The link below provides a good overview of this issue.
