1. What are

Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

  • Individual states each have their own "standards" with little consistency from one state to another.
  • CCSS were developed by educators and experts coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, and the Council of Chief State School Officers.
  • CCSS clarifies what students should learn and master for grades K-12 in English/language-arts and mathematics
  • For grades 6-12, CCSS provides additional standards for content and reading in history/social studies, and science.
  • CCSS are not currently aligned to English Language Learner Proficiency standards.
  • The federal government will NOT oversee implementation of CCSS - the U.S. Constitution gives individual states the right to oversee education. New Mexico will be in charge of testing to monitor student progress.
