kilroyOver the last few days I've had two separate teachers come to me asking "So you know the IAI thing? Will you guys be standardizing your textbooks?"
I do not know the IAI thing. The only thing I know is the Core Standards thing, which a) is K-12, not college, and b) still leaves book selection at the district/school/teacher level with a small number of exceptions (a high school student should have read at least one Shakespeare play before graduation. Horrors). I mean, we are sort of standardizing textbooks here, but that's because of federal legislation. Yet both people specifically mentioned IAI.
So am I missing something here, or are people freaking out about the wrong things?
