ROPE Finds the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Social Studies to Be Essentially National Social Studies Standards One of the biggest "truth embellishment" Oklahomans have been told of late is the fact that Oklahoma has “Oklahoma Academic Standards” instead of Common Core. To kill both the lie that these (the Common Core) are “state led” standards and that our Social Studies standards are NOT National standards (as in Common Core), I put together a brief slide presentation to cover BOTH issues. This is the printed version of that slide presentation. Below are the slides with captions. Nearly every one of them is a screenshot from either the Common Core or OSDE websites. Our RoadMap To the Common Core showing the "four pillars" of education 'reform'. 1. Common Core State Standards (in blue), 2. a State Longitudinal Database System, 3. Using the Turnaround model on failing schools (created by Bill Gates and used in Chicago while Arne Duncan was superintendent there! - also in blue) and, 4. Teacher accountability measures (yellow). All four have been dictated by the USDE to state who took the SFSF funds (all 50), Race to the Top grants and/or a No Child Left Behind Waiver. Gosh, the feds didn't want states to use them, did they? The Common Core website shows that the CCSS are licensed and copyrighted by the NGA and CCSSO. They also provide a liability waiver in case you hate them so both the NGA and CCSSO can say, "Too bad, so sad, we're not to blame for them." If, however, you want to sue for damages done by using the standards, you'll have to do it in DC! very local - VERY Oklahoma!

Oklahoma Academic Standards for Social Studies are The Equivalent of the National C3 Social Studies Standards
For years, since her election, Oklahoma State Superintendent Janet Barresi has been telling Oklahomans that we would develop our own educational standards - rather than accept national standards such as the Common Core. Sadly, this has been proven to be a false statement for Math and English/LA (which are Common Core, just renamed as the Oklahoma Academic Standards) and the OAS Science Standards, which are essentiallly word for word the Next Generation Science Standards. Here we use screen shots of the standards on the National and Oklahoma web pages to prove once and for all that Oklahoma does NOT have its own Academic Standards, but copies of ALL nationally produced standards.

Social Studies Standards
One of the biggest "truth embellishment" Oklahomans have been told of late is the fact that Oklahoma has “Oklahoma
Academic Standards” instead of Common Core. To kill both the lie that these (the Common Core) are “state led”
standards and that our Social Studies standards are NOT National standards (as in Common Core), I put together a brief
slide presentation to cover BOTH issues. This is the printed version of that slide presentation.
