INDIANAPOLIS – It appears Indiana will be the first Common Core-affiliated state to throw the nationalized, one-size-fits-all math and English learning standards into the “dustbin of history.”

Gov. Mike Pence said as much during his “State of the State” address on Tuesday.

“When it comes to setting standards for schools, I can assure you, Indiana’s will be uncommonly high,” Pence said, according to IndyStar.com. “They will be written by Hoosiers, for Hoosiers, and will be among the best in the nation.”

Indiana schools have been using the Common Core standards since 2010, though state lawmakers voted in early 2013 to pause alignment of Indiana’s standardized tests to the new standards pending further review, IndianaPublicMedia.org reports.

The State Board of Education is currently “reviewing Indiana’s expectations for what students should know and learn at each grade level,” and that lawmakers “have proposed giving them additional time — until next summer — to complete their work and pick new standards and assessments for Indiana students.”

IndyStar.com reports the Legislature’s two most powerful leaders support “the idea of passing Indiana standards but said the (the body) would get involved only if the State Board of Education cannot agree on taking action.”

“We don’t want to do that though because really this is the area where the Board, the Superintendent (of Public Instruction) and the Department of Education ought to be doing it themselves,” Senate President Pro Tem David Long told IndianaPublicMedia.org. “But if there continues to be an inability to find a path together, then we may have to describe that blueprint for them.”

It might be that Indiana lawmakers have already provided a “blueprint” of how to escape Common Core to the other 40-plus states that have signed on to the educational experiment. Some states are already considering moves to create their own standardized tests, instead of using ones created by a Common Core testing consortium.

Perhaps Indiana’s new go-it-alone approach will inspire other states to do the same.
