Common Core Curriculum Standards
As part of the Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI), the draft K-12 standards are now available for public comment. These draft standards, developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts, seek to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce. This 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 college- and career-readiness standards were previously released for public comment in September 2009.
These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The standards are designed to be:
- clear, understandable, consistent and aligned with college and work expectations
- evidence-based
- framed with rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills
Public comment on the K-12 common core standards is available until Friday, April 2. All interested educators, students and community members may participate in the public comment survey. Both the common core standards and the public input survey are accessible at www.corestandards.org.
- informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society
