Why do we need common standards? Why now?
• Disparate standards
• Different skills
• Global competition
• Preparation for career/college

Why is This Important for Students, Teachers, and Parents?
• College and work readiness
• Consistent expectations across the nation.

Key Features of the Standards
• Rigorous content with application
• Evidence and research
• Internationally benchmarked

ELA Shiftso Complex texts, quality, range
o Evidence that reading is anchored in the college and career readiness (CCR) standards.
o Rich reading of literature as well as extensive reading in science, history/social studies, and other disciplines.

Common Core for Mathematics
Standards for Mathematical Content• K-8 grade-by-grade standards organized by domain• 9-12 high school standards organized by conceptual
categories
Standards for Mathematical Practice• Describe mathematical “habits of mind” • Offer standards for mathematical proficiency: reasoning,
problem solving, modeling, decision making, and engagement
• Connect with content standards in each grade
