Content standards were designed to encourage the highest achievement of every student, by defining the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should acquire at each grade level.
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) will be implemented in the fall of 2014. As a math department, we will be working towards transitioning our curriculum and instruction to meet the rigorous standards. Through collaboration, we will write units of study and assessments. Throughout the year, your child will be given various opportunities to engage with these standards prior to the full implementation in 2014. To learn more about CCSS, please visit the California Department of Education at http://www.cde.ca.gov/re/cc/ or Council of Great City Schools at http://www.cgcs.org/domain/36
