Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia have joined the initiative. Elementary age students will have CCGPS in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, Language, and Mathematics. The goal is to graduate students from our schools that are "college and career-ready". These standards have been internationally benchmarked so that we can be confident that our students will be prepared to compete for high-demand jobs. Again, if American students are career-ready, fewer jobs will be out-sourced.
National standards will make it easier for our students who live move frequently, especially our military students. When a student from Oklahoma or Florida, for example, transfers to TCE they will have used the same curriculum. Gaps will be significantly lessened and catch-up will be reduced.
Beginning in January, there will be a series of live, interactive, grade-specific sessions for both English/Language Arts and Mathematics. These will be recorded, so you can access them at any time.
