Goal of the Common Core Standards:

“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.”

- CCSSO

• Clarity comes before competence.• Technology can open the walls of the classroom

and then expand the opportunities for learning.• We live in a global economy. Our students are

competing for jobs . . . . for many jobs that have not yet been created.

• Young adults from the age of 18-40 will have approximately 10-14 different jobs.
