NYSUT Pushes Web Campaign For Common Core Moratorium

Nick Reisman

The statewide teachers union on Wednesday launched a $200,000 online campaign pushing for changes to the teacher evaluation law in order to delay the impacts of Common Core testing.

The campaign includes a video showing students praising their teachers, with the message being that’s something that can’t be data-crunched through a teacher evaluation.

The state budget in March delayed the impacts of the Common Core standards on students, and Cuomo after the agreement said he would support changing the 2013 teacher evaluation law in order to accommodate those changes.
