Content standards were designed to encourage the highest achievement of every student, by defining the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should acquire at each grade level.

Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English-language arts and mathematics were adopted by the State Board of Education (SBE) on August 2, 2010.

Edutopia has compiled an educator's guide to websites, organizations, articles, and other resources looking at the new system of standards and how they will be assessed.  Another useful website: Common Core – State Standards Initiative
