Today’s students are preparing to enter a world in which colleges and businesses are demanding more than ever before. To ensure all students are ready for success after high school, the Common Core State Standards establish clear, consistent guidelines for what every student should know and be able to do in math and English language arts from kindergarten through 12th grade.
The NYS Modules that we use are found on the following website. We currently teach ELA Module 1, 2B and 3.

The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics build on the best of existing standards and reflect the skills and knowledge students will need to succeed in college, career, and life. Understanding how the standards differ from previous standards—and the necessary shifts they call for—is essential to implementing them. The following are the key shifts called for by the Common Core: 1.Greater focus on fewer topics 2. Coherence: Linking topics and thinking across grades 3. Rigor: Pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skills and fluency, and application with equal intensity
