What Is Common Core?
The California Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

Standards (CCSS) and a summary of what students are expected to learn as
they advance from kindergarten through grade 12. The standards are
designed to reflect the knowledge and skills that our young people need
for success in college and careers. A common set of learning goals helps
teachers and parents ensure students are challenged and making
appropriate progress.
