Introducing… The Common Core State
Standards!
What are the Common Core Standards? •Clear and consistent expectations for
student learning in English Language Arts and Mathematics
•Designed to prepare K-12 students for college and career success
Standards tell us what students
should know and be able to do at each grade level
A Brief History…• States requested…
▫ Create K-12 standards that ensure that all students are college and career ready in literacy and mathematics by the end of high school
• The standards were developed based on:▫ current research▫ international models▫ input from multiple sources including state departments
of education, scholars, educators from K-college, parents and students
• Anchored in College and Career Readiness (CCR) Standards

Common Core Shifts for ELA/Literacy •Building knowledge through content-
rich nonfiction•Reading, writing and speaking grounded
in evidence from text, both literacy and informational

Common Core Shifts for Mathematics•Focus topics specified at each grade
level.•Coherence: Think across grades,
and link to major topics within grades•Rigor: In major topics
