Common Core Standards
• What are they?• They were created by Council of Chief State School
Officers (CCSSO) and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center), teachers, parents, community leaders, researchers, and experts. Common Core matches up with college and work expectations, incorporates rigorous content, higher order thinking skills, previous state standards, and ensures that students will be ready to compete in the global world.
Common Core Standards
• Why?• To clearly communicate to everyone (teachers, parents, and students)
what the standards are for success. Teachers will know exactly what students should learn and provide benchmarks to achieve success.
• Most states have adopted Common Core to make a more unified system of standards.
