Common Core State Stanards
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. With American students fully prepared for the
future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the
global economy.
