About the
Common Core
The Common Core is a set of high quality academic
standards in mathematics and English language arts ELA.
In 2009 the state school chiefs and governors that
comprise CCSSO and the NGA Center coordinated a state-led effort to develop the
Common Core State Standards. Designed through collaboration among teachers,
school chiefs, administrators, and other experts, the standards provide a clear
and consistent framework for educators.
The standards were created to ensure that all students
graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in
college, career, and life, regardless of where they live. The standards define
the knowledge and skills students should gain throughout their K-12 education
in order to graduate high school prepared to succeed in entry-level careers,
introductory academic college courses, and workforce training programs.
Forty-two states, the District of Columbia, four
territories, have voluntarily adopted and are moving forward with the Common
Core.
