Teachers and administrators are doing a great job implementing the new standards, called Common Core State Standards. These standards set high expectations for all students. They are rigorous and internationally benchmarked; research- and evidence-based; aligned with college and career expectations; and build on the foundation laid by individual states. The aim of this state-led initiative is to develop standards that ensure all students are held to consistent expectations that will prepare them for college and career. The State PTA has a great link with Parents' Guides to Student Success documents for First Grade through High School. The Guides can be found here:
