Title:A first look at the common core and college and career readiness
Source:http://www.act.org/research/policymakers/pdf/Fi...
Date:2010
Organization:ACT, Inc.
Short Description:This report provides an estimate of current student performance on the Common Core State Standards, using ACT college- and career-readiness data.
Annotation:The Common Core State Standards Initiative represents one of the most significant reforms to U.S. education in recent history. The efforts of 48 states, two territories, and the District of Columbia have—for the first time—given consensus to educators on the essential knowledge and skills necessary for the college and career readiness of our nation’s students. As of October 2010, 41 states have adopted the Common Core Standards. This report provides an estimate of current student performance on the Common Core State Standards, using ACT college- and career-readiness data. The report offers both instructional and curricular support recommendations, as well as policy considerations for state and federal policymakers that can support teaching and learning of the Common Core.
