CCSS Overview for Parents

Overview of Common Core State Standards

            The Common Core State Standards are a set of research-based, globally competitive K-12 expectations for English Language Arts and Mathematics.  They are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills our young people need so that they are fully prepared to compete in a globally competitive economy.  The standards establish:

  • Consistent learning goals for all students
  • Clear roadmaps of academic expectations at each grade level
  • Relevance to the real world and prepare students for post-secondary education and a globally competitive workforce
