Common Core Standards are Here to Stay! But we already have standards… why change?

College and Career Readiness Too many students are not prepared to succeed in the 21 st century… In 2010, 23,600 of 47,900 college freshman in the California University system required remedial courses in English, math or BOTH.

The CCSS focus is to guarantee that all students are college and career ready as they exit from high school.
