Common Core and New York State Next Generation English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards
Common Core and the Revised New York State Standards
The Common Core and the Revised New York State Standards aim to reimagine the educational framework for English language arts and mathematics, with the goal of better supporting educators in their instructional practice and to provide additional guidance on achieving a vision of 21st century literacy.
While the Standards were designed to apply to the teaching and learning of all students in our state’s schools, and are the result of collaborative and deliberate efforts between a diverse range of instructional experts, school leaders and parents, the supporting documents that are linked with the Standards provide additional guidance on implementation of the Standards with English Language Learners (ELLs), Multilingual Learners (MLLs), and Students with Disabilities (SWDs).
The guiding idea behind Common Core, and the New York State Next Generation English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards is to prepare our students to become lifelong learners and thinkers, as well as active participants in civil, community and professional endeavors.
The two links provided below are helpful in understanding the Common Core and the Revised New York Standards. I encourage you to look at these websites, and engage your child's teachers and administrators in informed dialogue about any concerns or questions you might have.
