The Common Core Mission Statement is as follows:

The 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.

This website has information about Common Core Standards, who was involved with developing them, and what the standards are. Additional topics found in the About Common Core section include key points in English language arts, key points in mathematics, process, statements of supports, myths vs. facts, presentations, and in the states. According to the In the States section, 45 of our 50 states have already adopted Common Core Standards.

Many of the topics are available in downloadable pdf formats in the Resources section. Viewers may download the entire standards that include grade level standards for English and Math from the middle ribbon on the Homepage.
