What are the Common Core State Standards?
Simply speaking, the standards define the knowledge and skill levels students are to have mastered by grade level or course in order to ultimately prepare them for college and career when they finish high school. The Common Core State Standards set expectations for English language arts and mathematics. Missouri has chosen to embed these standards in the Missouri Learning Standards which also include grade-level and course-level expectations for science, social studies, world languages, as well as other subject areas.
