New York State Adopts Common Core State Standards

New York State adopted the Common Core State Standards at a meeting of the Board of Regents on 19 July 2010. The 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.
