Most states will have to rethink their approach to teaching critical analysis of all kinds of information, as the standards require that students be able to:

  • Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research; and
  • Interpret mathematical results in the context of a situation and reflect on whether the results make sense, possibly improving the model if it has not served its purpose.
