Common+Core+State+Standards+(CCSS)

It is important for parents to understand what Common Core State Standards. You want to know what and how curriculum is being taught to your child.
==There is a lot of "information" out there on the internet that portrays CCSS as an evil attempt to indoctrinate children into government pawns. I sincerely disagree with this assessment. Our standards have not changed very much from before (California was already a leader in "rigor"), but the bottom line is that we are asked to challenge the students to do deeper thinking and provide evidence for their answers, whether it is in Literature class, Science class, or Math class.==

==As someone who has seen educational movements come and go, I am THRILLED with Common Core and the authentic teaching and learning that it fosters. I am more than happy to sit down with you and talk about any rumors you might be hearing or concerns you may have.==
