Week 2 Assignment 2

Common Core Standards are a set of standards in Math and English. The purpose of these standards is that students should receive a well rounded education and be prepared to go onto college. Until recently each state had their own standards. Now they have created standards that are used by more than 40 states- this way the goals set are reached by all students and one can attend school or college anywhere. Teachers use the standards as the basis of their lessons. The end goal of each lesson is that the standards should be reached and achieved. Teachers have the flexibility to decide how to teach and reach the state standards. Theses Standards help our students succeed in the future.
