Common Core Standards: a
set of curriculum standards established by
states to insure that students meet minimum
measurable learning goals. Its goal is to
insure that students going from one system to
another have reached the same educational
standards.
There has been some discussion,
misinformation, criticism and politicalization
of Common Core. It isnot a
federally initiated or run program. The American
Diploma Project started in 1996 and the National
Governors’ Association and business leaders saw
a great need to standardize assessment,
graduation requirements, knowledge achievement,
skills acquisition and classes to prepare all
students for work, college and the challenges of
modern American life. Student would move from
state to state, city to city or county to county
and found they were either behind or a head of
their classmates. Therefore they were frustrated
and had to struggle to either keep up with the
work or bored because they already covered the
material. Teachers, counsels and administrators
had to develop remedial programs to accommodate
the transferees. You can read more about Common
