This
study analyzes the Common Core Standards Initiative and its goal to have common
standards and curriculum from state to state.
The National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers launched
the Common Core State Standards initiative in March 2009 after the nation’s
governors agreed in concept to adopt a uniform set of standards. The final
report was issued on June 2, 2010 (NGA, 2010), and, by early 2011, 40 states
have adopted the Standards. The adopting states are currently aligning them to
their own state standards.
