Einstein School has adopted the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts which are the culmination of an extended, broad-based effort to fulfill the charge issued by the United States of America to create the next generation of standards in kindergarten to grade 12 to help ensure that all students are literate and college and career ready no later than the end of high school.

The Standards are (1) based on research and evidence, (2) aligned with college and work expectations, (3) rigorous, and (4) internationally benchmarked. A particular standard was included in the document only when the best available evidence indicated that its mastery was essential for college and career readiness in a twenty-first-century, globally competitive society. The Standards are intended to be a living work: as new and better evidence emerges, the Standards will be revised accordingly.

Key Features of the Standards:

• Reading: Text complexity and the growth of comprehension

• Writing: Text types, responding to reading, and research

• Speaking and Listening: Flexible communication and collaboration

• Language: Conventions, effective use, and vocabulary
