Common Core State Standards
• The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them.
• The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.
Development Criteria

students learn • Consistent across all states, so that students are not taught to a lower
standard just because of where they live • Include both content and the application of knowledge through high-order
skills • Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards and standards of
top-performing nations • Realistic, for effective use in the classroom • Informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are
prepared to succeed in our global economy and society • Evidence and research -based
