If not, why do you believe it doesn’t fit?
To be honest, I know little about the
Common Core State Standards at first. So I searched it online and got some
information, then I know something about it and feel it is really important. I
think even though China does not have the same document as this standard, we
have something similar to require students to meet certain requirements in
certain age.
I think it is good to raise the claim to
guide the education. Educators can make curriculum according to it and helps
students grow up and adapt the society in the future. In art education, I think
most of the time maybe we do not do these things by purpose, but art can
originally meet the needs of common core standards. I hope we can do more by
purpose and let students benefit more from art.
I think VTS meet several aspects of Common
Core State Standards. When they
discussing the image, they have to think independently and express their own
ideas. It will improve their ability of thinking and language. Also, they will
listen to others ideas and communicate with each other, it will develop their
ability of communication and they will learn to respect others.
It would be very interesting to compare the standards documents you have in China with the Common Core State STandards. I have read that the Common Core is internationally benchmarked meaning the developers looked at the curricula of other nations to see what commonalities they could find. Very interesting post!
