Common Core State Standards

The State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) on July 12, 2010. The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers.  The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce.

The Standards

  • Are aligned with college and workforce expectations;
  • Are clear, understandable and consistent;
  • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high order skills;
  • Build upon the strength of our current state standards;
  • Are informed by standards in other top performing countries, so all students are prepared to succeed in the global economy and society;
  • Are evidence-and research-based.

Why?

  • It should be clear to every student, parent, and teacher what the standards of success are in every school.

The Timeframe

  • Kindergarten – 2nd grades: 2011-2012
  • 3rd – 8th grades: 2012-2013
  • 9th – 12th grades: 2013-2014
  • Common Assessment: 2014-2015
