The Common Core State Standards aim to provide clear and consistent expectations for K-5 students, equipping them for success in college and careers. Emphasizing real-world relevance, the standards guide teachers and parents in supporting student learning. With a focus on literacy shifts, such as reading more non-fiction and evidence-based writing, as well as key mathematical concepts, this framework ensures all students, regardless of their background, are prepared for future challenges. Engage with your child in discussing and exploring these critical skills for meaningful learning experiences.

Mission Statement(taken from corestandards.org) • The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. • The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. • With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.
Why the Change?? • Ensure all students (no matter where they live) are prepared for college and career. • Provide clear and consistent expectations for students, parents, and teachers. • Clearer “roadmap” for learning.
6 Shifts in ELA/Literacy • Read as much non fiction as fiction; • Learn about the world by reading; • Read more challenging material closely; • Discuss reading using evidence; • Write non-fiction using evidence; • Increase academic vocabulary.
6 Shifts in Mathematics • Focus: learn more about fewer, key topics; • Build skills within and across grades; • Develop speed and accuracy; • Really know it, Really do it; • Use it in the real world; • Think fast AND solve problems.
Student/Parent Rolewith English Language Arts Students must… • Read more non-fiction. • Get “smart” in science and social studies through reading. • Handle frustration and keep pushing. • Discuss what the author is “up to.” • Write well. Parents can… • Supply more non-fiction text. • Find books that explain. • Read challenging material with them. • Talk about the text. • Encourage writing at home.
Remember to… • Talk to your children… • Read to your children… • Listen to your children… • Sing with your children… • Make up silly rhymes and word games with your children.
Student/Parent Rolewith Mathematics Students must… • Spend more time on fewer topics. • Keep building on learning year after year. • Develop speed and accuracy. • Talk about why the math works. • Apply math in real world situations. Parents can… • Know what the priority work is for your child for their grade level. • Be aware of what your child struggled with last year and how that will affect learning this year. • Push their child to know/memorize basic math facts. • Notice whether your child really knows why the answer is what it is. • Ask your child to do the math that comes up in your daily life.
