MISS SSION ION ST STATEM ATEMENT: ENT: The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) provide a consistent, clear, understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers. With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.

• Forty-five states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity have incorporated Common Core State Standards. Common Core State Standards Initiative | www.corestandards.org
