Why is This Important for Students, Teachers, and Parents?
Prepares students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college and work
Ensures consistent expectations regardless of a student’s zip code
Provides educators, parents, and students with clear, focused guideposts

Fewer, clearer, and higher
Aligned with college and work expectations
Rigorous content and application of knowledge through higher-order skills
Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards
Internationally benchmarked…to succeed in our global economy and society
Evidence and research based

Adoption
State adopts 100% of the common core K-12 standards in ELA and mathematics (word for word), with option of adding up to an additional 15% of standards on top of the core.
State Board of Education adopted Common Core Standards in July 2010.

Common Standards: The First Step
Standards are essential, but inadequate. Along with standards…
• Resources, tools, and time to adjust classroom practice.
• Instructional materials to align to the standards.
• Assessments to measure student progress.
• A re-examination of federal, state, and district policies to ensure they support alignment of the Common Core state standards with student achievement.
