This book provides a guide for Christian educators and Christian schools to navigate the complicated, politically-charged controversy surrounding the Common Core State Standards. Written from the perspective of a Christian school administrator, the book seeks to confront the conspiracy theories and transcend the politics of the Common Core, while affirming the Good News of the Christian faith.
