Common Core State Standards - Vision

The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn in ELA and Math, 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, and to reflect the knowledge and skills that 21st century youth will need for success in college and careers. With all students academically prepared for the future, our state and our nation will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

Common Core State Standards: Why?

63% of jobs nationwide will require some postsecondary education by 2018

64% of Oregon jobs will require postsecondary education; of those:

54% vocational training, certification, or associate degree

46% bachelor or graduate degree
