Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are a set of educational guidelines designed to ensure that students in the United States acquire the knowledge and skills needed for success in college and career. Established in 2010, the standards focus on key subjects like math and English language arts, promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. By providing consistent expectations across states, the CCSS aims to enhance educational quality and prepare students for a competitive global workforce. The goal is to ensure all students, regardless of where they live, have access to a high-quality education.
