[quote=Anonymous]The Common Core State Standards were developed by a coalition of 40+ states, with support from the Ed Department, major foundations, the National Governors Association, the Chief State School Officers, etc. They were developed for two big reasons: 1) there is a recognition that it does not really make sense for each state to have different standards for their students, there is a "core" we can agree on and add additional pieces if different states want to; 2) a recognition that the US school standards are not as rigorous and well developed as many other countries around the world whose students do better than our on international comparisons of achievement. All but a few states have adopted them. [/quote]
