Common Core State Standards

The goal of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is to help all students become college and career-ready by the time they leave high school. What does this mean for you?

• English Language Arts Standards
• Math Standards
• Smarter Balanced

Lane ESD supports the implementation of the Common Core in English Language Arts and Math.
