Common Core State Standards Initiative

The Common Core State Standards Initiative is an educational initiative in the United States aimed at establishing clear and consistent learning goals for K-12 students in math and English language arts. Developed by state education leaders, the standards are designed to ensure that students across the country receive an equitable education, preparing them for college and career readiness. By outlining what students should know at each grade level, the initiative promotes uniformity in education, allowing teachers to share resources and best practices, and helping students transition smoothly between schools and states.
