Karen Fasimpaur notes a recent Education Week article, which reports that 46 U.S. states are working towards common academic standards in Math and English. Fasimpaur is encouraged by news and its potential for open textbooks. From the blog post:
Having common standards could be a real boon for the open textbook movement as well. Being able to develop textbooks around common standards that could then be adopted in one version by all states is a much more reasonable proposition.
