Common Core State Standards 5

Who leads the Common Core State Standards Initiative? 6 “The nation’s governors and education commissioners, through their representative organizations the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the development of the Common Core State Standards and continue to lead the initiative. Teachers, parents, school administrators and experts from across the country together with state leaders provided input into the development of the standards.” Taken from Common Core State Standards Initiative/Preparing America’s Students for College and Career http://www.corestandards.org/

Common Core State Standards 7  “The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.” Taken from Common Core State Standards Initiative/Preparing America’s Students for College and Career http://www.corestandards.org/
