Common Core Standards
The Casssopolis Public Schools started implementing the use of Common Core Standards in the Fall of 2012. Common Core standards are a set of college and career ready K-12 curriculum standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics. They define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs.
The standards are:
* aligned with college and work expectations
* are clear, understanable and consistent
* include rigorous content and application of knowledge through higher order skills
* build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards
* are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society
* are evidence based
These standards are used to help the Cassopolis teachers develop their lessons/lesson plans. My resource students will be exposed to these common core standards in the general education classrooms, with modifications and accommodations made according to their current academic performance level and IEP
(Individualized Education Plan).
