Emphasis on reading and comprehending informational texts Develop a strong foundation in numbers and operations in the early grades Algebraic thinking early (in depth by 6th grade) Physical Science concepts early (a focus in elementary) Social Studies builds on broad, essential concepts Overview of Concrete Changes for 21st Century Learners

Students will be critical consumers of media. Students will be able to consider the perspectives of others. Students will be successful collaborators. Students will be lifelong learners Students will be academically self-aware Dispositions, Attitudes, and Non-Academic Skills

The Promise of Standards These Standards are not intended to be new names for old ways of doing business. They are a call to take the next step. It is time for states to work together to build on lessons learned from two decades of standards based reforms. It is time to recognize that standards are not just promises to our children, but promises we intend to keep.
