Common Core State Standards

Dear Parents,
Over the next few years, California will be implementing the Common Core State Standards. What are the Common Core State Standards?
Here is the mission statement:

"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."

To put it simply, most American schools are all adopting the same standards so we will all be on the same page. There will be both major and minor changes. I encourage you to begin educating yourself on what these standards are and how they will impact your children. Here is a link to some videos that will help begin this process.
