Common Core Standards
The Common Core
Learning Standards are a set of clear guidelines showing what
students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 should be able to
do in reading, writing, speaking and listening, language and
mathematics. With these standards, students start by learning
basic skills in early grades and build up to mastering more
difficult skills and concepts.
