The Common Core mathematics standards succeed in being both mathematically coherent and grade level appropriate. Overall, they are the best standards that I have seen in the past twenty years. If we can design a professional development program of the same caliber to go with these standards, then our nation will be making a substantial first step towards educational excellence in mathematics.

I watched the entire power point presentation. I can't seem to find it again. However, his overall statements were not in protest of the CCSS, he was bringing awareness to the lack of discussion about professional development.
