DRAFT K-12 COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT
NGA Center, CCSSO Release First Official Public Draft
WASHINGTON—The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) today released the first official public draft of the K-12 standards as part of the Common Core State Standards Initiative, a process being led by governors and chief state school officers in 51 states, territories, and the District of Columbia. These draft standards, developed together with teachers, school administrators and experts, seek to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce.
The NGA Center and CCSSO have received feedback from national organizations representing, but not limited to teachers, postsecondary education (including community colleges), civil rights groups, English language learners, and students with disabilities The NGA Center and CCSSO encourage those interested in the standards to provide further feedback by Friday, April 2, 2010, at www.corestandards.org.
“We are pleased to release the K-12 standards today and to begin reviewing comments from the public,” said Dane Linn, director of the NGA Center’s Education Division. “These standards build upon the goals articulated in the college- and career-readiness standards released last year and will ensure our students are prepared to compete and succeed in a global economy. We look forward to working with educators, leaders and state board members in the states as they consider adopting these standards that will guide their educational programs.”
“The feedback and comments states and our additional stakeholders have provided us are solidifying these standards into the better standards our students need,” stated Gene Wilhoit, executive director of CCSSO. “We will continue to work diligently and tirelessly to ensure these standards are where they need to be, and today we are asking the public to help us do just that.”
These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The standards are:
- Aligned with college and work expectations;
- Clear, understandable and consistent;
- Include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills;
- Build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards;
- Informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society; and
- Evidence- and research-based.
The standards are expected to be finalized in early Spring. For more information, visit www.corestandards.org.

It's a compromise for the fuzzies and the traditionalists. Why they couldn't just xerox the Mass. standards, I don't know. It would have saved us a lot of money and we'd have the BEST. Instead they had to try to please both sides in the math wars. I think this will be a step DOWN For Mass…possibly a step up for the fuzzy states that set the bar in the dirt.
Either way, we still lose because this is another shift of power away from the local community.
The State Governors should be thrown out of office for neglecting THEIR responsibility and shifting it upwards.
If the MA. standards were in place nation-wide, we would be graduating many high achievers. That's why they are avoided by education reform "designers".
Hunt's support of these standards is straight from 1989 NCEE/NASDC banner in 1989… almost word for word…spin…and in which thrust, he was a promoter.
The decline in literacy since then is directly attributable to the political/corporate seizure of public education,(1989), with specific corporate (seed $)underwriters, and agreements with compliant governors at the money trough. Public education has morphed into an assembly line "industry". Now, we are poised to enter phase two under a well intentioned President but one being advised by the same participants that produced the 1989 take over by the corporate world.
U.S. Education Secretary, Duncan, heralds from Chicago, one of the original selected cities for "reform" (failed 1989 reform) led by the NCEE and its corporate underwriters. The entire thrust received substantial financial support from two national, well known, foundations in particular..
very goood
