  I applaud and admire Commissioner Davy for her orientation of the state's core
  curriculum towards real world learning!
  
  I would like to suggest more emphasis be placed on teaching how to learn the
  meaning and understanding of this core
  curriculum(i.e., Less traditional type teaching oriented towards a standardized
  testing and more conceptual teaching to
  a discipline's syllabus). This way the three true forms of knowledge (i.e., the
  Declarative, Associated, and Procedural
  knowledge)would be acquired and students
  would have the skills to graduate onto
  the next levels!
  
  I am an Adjunct Professor of Anatomy and
  Physiology and find that the highest percentage of my incoming students lack
  independant study skills. They appear not to seek the meaning or understanding
  of this challenging discipline,but just
  enough associated knowledge(i.e., dis-connected information),with expectations
  of high grade averages that don't match their meaning and understanding.
  
  I am well versed in "Conceptual Teaching
  Techniques for Diversity in Learning".
  However, at the collegiate level, time
  alloted and amount of detail taught do
  not always articulate. Students need to come to a college class prepared with strong independent study skills, as well
  as the ability to acquire meaning and understanding from all three types of knowledge of rigorous scholarship!
