Learn It “Link to Education”- Common Core

This month’s featured educational website is: Common Core State Standards initiative www.corestandards.org.

The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts, to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce.

What are the 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. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

This website can provide you with information about the history of the Common Core Standards initiative, testimonials from Educators and Legislators, resources, news links and videos.
