Title:Common Core State Standards Initiative
Source:http://www.corestandards.org/
Date:2009
Organization:National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers
Short Description:The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a joint effort by governors and state commissioners of education from across the country committed to joining a state-led process to develop a common core of state standards in English-language arts and mathematics for grades K-12.
Annotation:The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a joint effort by governors and state commissioners of education from across the country committed to joining a state-led process to develop a common core of state standards in English-language arts and mathematics for grades K-12. These standards will be research and evidence-based, internationally benchmarked, aligned with college and work expectations and include rigorous content and skills. The NGA Center and CCSSO are coordinating the process to develop these standards and have created an expert validation committee to provide an independent review of the common core state standards, as well as the grade-by-grade standards.
