Key Ideas and Details
Common Core State Standards
Are:• Fewer, clearer, and higher• Aligned with college and work expectations• Not just answers — demonstration of
knowledge through high-order skills• Internationally benchmarked, so that all
students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society
Common Core State StandardsAre NOT:
• A curriculum — textbooks, lesson plans and other materials remain a state, local and teacher decision
• Federally mandated — 45 states have adopted higher standards voluntarily
Current news• Governor Scott has asked the FL Department of
Education (FLDOE) to review Common Core State Standards.
• The FLDOE has held three public hearings and heard from more than 7,000 people.
• Commissioner Pam Stewart will issue a report about Common Core in November.
• Florida will begin selecting an assessment to measure Common Core State Standards in late 2013 or early 2014.
