   Fewer, higher, and clearer academic standards  Aligned with college and work expectations  Based on current educational research and evidence  Benchmarked to high performing countries and states  Rigorous standards emphasizing skill and application of content
• 4.
   Clarity: The standards are designed to help teachers, students, and parents understand what is expected of them to be ready to enter the workforce or college.  Consistency: These standards will level the playing field so all students will be held to the same rigorous expectations.  Global Society: The standards are internationally benchmarked to high performing countries to help our students succeed in a global economy.  Preparation: These standards are designed for students to be college and career ready upon completing secondary education.  Quality: Teachers are given more flexibility to teach standards in depth and across disciplines that can be tailored to fit the students needs.  Skilled Workforce: These standards emphasize skills and application, in addition to content, to prepare students for working in the current workforce.

   State-led and developed.  Voluntary, adoption of the standards are not mandated.  Developed with input from teachers, administrators, content experts, state education leaders, and the general public.  An opportunity for states to collaborate, innovate and reach economies of scale.  Intended to have equal expectations of all students.

   A federal initiative.  Tied to annual yearly progress.  Designed to tell teachers what to teach or how to teach it.  A national curriculum for schools.  A way for states with current high standards to lower expectations of the students.

  The K-8 MathStandards are organized by Domain, Clusters, and Standards Domain Operations and Algebraic Thinking Represent and Solve Problems Involving Addition and Subtraction 1. Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with all unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using objects, drawing, and equations, with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. Clusters 2. Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problems. Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction 1. Apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction 2. Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem Standards

   The standards are organized by conceptual categories: number and quantity, algebra, functions, modeling, geometry, statistics and probability.  Standards with a (+) symbol are above the benchmark for students to be college and career ready. ◦ Students who plan on entering the STEM field may require mastery of these skills.  Modeling is a requirement under the Standards for Mathematical Practice. Modeling standards are indicated by a (*) symbol.

  General  The K-12standards stress conceptual knowledge and understanding in addition to procedural skills.  Grades 9-12 require the application of mathematics to real world situations and issues. Mastery of Knowledge and Skills  Students who master the K-5 standards will have a strong foundation in whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and the basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.)  Students who master the K-7 materials will be able to take Algebra 1 by 8th grade.
• 10.
   The K-12 ELA standards are benchmarked to 10 College and Career Readiness Standards.  K-8 standards are listed by grade level.  Standards in grades 9-12 are listed in two year bands to allow flexibility in course design.  The standards are separated into four strands: Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.
• 11.
  General  The useof media is integrated into all areas of the standards.  The standards require students to learn information across disciplines. Mastery of Knowledge and Skills  The standards are based on learning progressions.  Students are required to demonstrate mastery of knowledge and application through several avenues and environments suitable for the work and college environment.
• 12.
   Expected release date of the K-12 English language arts and math standards: June 2010  States must adopt 100% of the standards verbatim.  States may add an additional 15% to the common core standards.  The standards will be completely integrated into schools within three years of adoption.  Assessments on the standards will take place during the 2014-2015 school year.
• 13.
   Resistance: Local teachers, principles, district leaders, and members of the community may not be on board.  Transition: Shifting from the current standards-assessment system to a new common system. ◦ Comparability of the current state standards to the common core standards. ◦ Developing new assessments, instructional materials, and curriculum frameworks, aligned with the common core standards. ◦ Evaluating and modifying state and local policies to ease implementation of the common standards. ◦ Aligning teacher preparation and in-service programs to reflect the new standards.  Funding: Providing the ability and capacity to communicate, advocate and educate about the standards.  Political: Governors, Commissioners, and State Board members are facing re-election.
• 14.
   Convene stakeholders to inform and gain support for common standards. ◦ Key stakeholders: teachers, administrators, legislatures, parents, students, businesses, newspapers, others that contribute to education in your state.  Host webinars and workshops to educate teachers on the format and content of the standards.  Establish P-20 taskforces to analyze the standards and programs to ensure students are prepared to enter college or the workforce.  Host a press conference on the adoption of the standards.
• 15.
   Submit op-eds or letters to editors to the local papers.  Create video clips of supporters of common core.  Engage parents, students, local business and other local entities to advocate for common standards.  Host town hall or local school board meetings.
• 16.
   Voluntary adoption of the standards.  Federal, state, and local policies will be revised to reflect the change in education.  Development of assessments, curriculum frameworks and instructional materials that are aligned with the standards.
