Common Core Standards By Holly Blankenship

What is the Common Core? Newly revised academic state standards for school districts Formed by: National Governors Association for Best Practices Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) Standards developed with help from teachers, administrators, and educational experts Provide universal understanding of what students will learn Standards allow consistent benchmark areas across each state Students from all states will be on “the same page” academically

Qualities of Common Core Understandable Consistent Evidence-based Rigorous content to promote higher thinking Enhancement of current state standards Better prepares students for college and work world

What is the Process?

Categories of Common Core College and Career Readiness Standards Expectations of what students should learn after graduating high school Draft of standards available for public comment in September 2009 K-12 Standards Expectations of what students should learn during the elementary and high school years Draft of standards available for public comment in March 2010
