• Declining US competitiveness with other
developed countries
• NAEP performance that is largely flat over
the past 40 years in 8th grade
– Slight improvement at the 4th grade level
– Slight decline at the high school level
• High rates of college remediation

Principles of the CCSS
• Aligned to requirements for college and
career readiness
• Based on evidence
• Honest about time
