Author(s):	Campaign for High School Equity
Title:	Communities of color: A critical perspective in the Common Standards movement
Source:	http://www.highschoolequity.org/images/stories/...
Date:
Organization:	Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation
Short Description:	The standards discussion is particularly important to the Campaign for High School Equity (CHSE), because students of color are disproportionately affected by low academic standards.
Annotation:	The standards discussion is particularly important to the Campaign for High School Equity (CHSE), because students of color are disproportionately affected by low academic standards. A recent study compared students' score on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)-and exam administered nationally based on high standards and internationally benchmarked-with their scores on state assessments. While almost all states employ standards and assessments that are less rigorous than NAEP, those with above-average variation in scores are located disproportionately in the South, Southwest, and far West states with a disproportionate share of low-income, non-white, and English-learning students. These students, a growing proportion of the U.S. population, are simply not being adequately prepared for college and work.
