2011 Forum Video: California’s New Common Core K–12 Academic Standards
California’s New Common Core K–12 Academic Standards
In August 2010, the California State Board of Education (SBE) adopted—with modifications— new academic content standards in English and math based on the Common Core State Standards. How are these new standards different from what’s been in place the past decade? What modifications to the math standards did the SBE make and why? What are the next steps, and how will they affect curriculum and testing? What are districts and schools supposed to be teaching for the 2010–11 and 2011–12 school years?
