The Every Child Achieves Act of 2015December 10, 2015

The new law allows states to adopt Common Core but does not require it. In fact, it requires the Education Department to remain neutral: "The Secretary shall not attempt to influence, incentivize, or coerce State adoption of the Common Core State Standards developed under the Common Core State Standards Initiative or any other academic standards common to a significant number of States, or assessments tied to such standard."

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) 2010

No one person alone can possibly affect the kind of transformation in school culture necessary to successfully implement the CCSS. Instead of

control, school leaders must work to build collaborative communities of learners. In today’s

schools “the lead learner is the learning

leader.”

"The fundamental principle of this bill is that every child can learn, we expect every child to learn, and you must show us whether or not every child is learning,“

READING LITERACY - FOLKLOREFolklore is an integral part of any culture. Folktales are derived from the daily experiences of ordinary people. Scholars like Adeyemi (1998) and Olajide believed that the medium of writing may have reduced the original flavour of folktales. In the olden days, elders gathered young ones, especially children, to tell them stories of dead people that had shown bravery, animal kingdom, birds, reptiles, and the gins. Those stories (folktales) have the following advantages.

(1) They sensitize children to the immediate environment.(2) They help the children to develop self-confidence.(3) They also sharpen the children’s survival instinct.(4) Folktales increase the children’s patriotism.(5) They enhance moral development

Cultural experiences, especially from folktales (Olajide, 2007b) and popular culture items (Cheung, 2001) should be used in grooming young learners for future leadership.
