Common Core State Standards
• 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.

of what it represents in the place to its left.
