Mission Statement
(taken from corestandards.org)
O 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.
O 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.
O With American students fully prepared for the
future, our communities will be best positioned
to compete successfully in the global economy.
Why the Change??
O Ensure all students (no matter where they
live) are prepared for college and career.
O Provide clear and consistent expectations
for students, parents, and teachers.
O Clearer “roadmap” for learning.
