About the Standards
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).
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.

Why Common Core?
Educational Standards - Aligned with expectations for college and career
success Clear, so that educators and parents know what
they need to do to help students learn Consistent across all states, so that students are not
taught to a lower standard just because of where they live
Include both content and the application of knowledge through high-order skills (RBT)

Why Common Core?
Educational Standards: Build upon strengths and lessons of current state
standards and standards of top-performing nations Realistic, for effective use in the classroom Informed by other top performing countries, so
that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society
Evidence and research-based criteria have been set by states, through their national organizations CCSSO and the NGA Center.

What Will Common Core Look Like in the Class?
More complex text More non-fiction/informational text More of an emphasis on finding
“evidence” to support answers More opinion and informational writing
across the curriculum More group research projects More real-life application in math
