Common Core State Standards... Math 1510 and 1512

The Common Core State Standards Initiate states:

“The Common Core State Standards 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.”

This addresses a very important part of teaching, and learning. It is so important to make sure that students have a very clear understanding of what is expected of them and the information that they are expected to learn. Also, that parents know what is going on in the classroom and what is expected of their students. Open communication between all can be very helpful in making sure that each student stays on track with their education. 

The goal is to help prepare all students for life in the "real world". What a better way to do that then by exposing them to real life events, problems, and skills that they need. Preparing our students for the future is a very important job that needs to be taken seriously. It is important that everyone is supportive and on the same page. Education is the road to success!
