Designed to provide high quality education consistently across schools and states.
I think that if the standards are supported by research and are able to support teachers in developing high quality lessons and activities to students...We are moving in the right direction!!
The standards were formulated not to tell teachers HOW to teach but to identify the skills and knowledge students should have to then build lessons and activities to achieve goals in the classroom.

Click on the Common Core Standards below for the standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics
English Language Arts and Literacy in Historical/Social Studies and Technical subjects is designed to ensure students are college and career ready in literacy by the end of High School
The standards set the requirements for literacy, and are to be supplemental to and used to support the content areas of History/Social Studies and Technical subjects.
Mathematics standards expect focused and coherent teaching with the goal of improving mathematical achievement in the United States. The standards are focused are the learning of organizing principles of math knowledge, taking into account how students learn.
Standards define what students should understand and be able to do in Math. There is an increased focus on student understanding of WHY a mathematical answer is correct rather than to have the ability to do it.
With the exception of Texas, Alaska, Minnesota, Nebraska and West Virginia all states have adopted the Common Core.
Time will tell if the common core guidelines will provide a clear map of the curriculum to guide the success of all students. Full implementation in New York State began with the 2012-2013 school year.

As a teacher candidate it is an exciting time in the classroom with new and challenging standards and systems of evaluation. I am looking forward to facing those challenges and being apart of improving student learning evidenced by growth, change and skill development.
