Top 5 Things Parents Need to Know about Common Core

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is a set of standards in English/ Language Arts and Mathematics for grades K-12. 

We will review the top 5 tips parents should know about CCSS. 

1. Better Standards/ Better Assessments  teachers will be administering assessment tests via computer therefore having the ability to cater the lessons to the needs of the students based in the test results. 

2. Consistent learning goals for students regardless of where they live. So if you choose to relocate to another state your child will have the ability to pick up where they left off as everyone will be on the same standards. 

3. Standards are not curriculum. Standards are a guideline for teachers to follow but it is not a curriculum so teachers still choose their own lesson plans and how to get the material to the students. 

4. CCSS is cost saving because it keeps students from taking unnecessary courses and allows students to take the ACT which is the college entrance exam for free. 

5.  CCSS prepares students to be well prepared for college, technical education, or the workplace after high school graduation.
