Common Core

The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort that established a single set of clear educational standards in English language arts and mathematics that the State of Maine voluntarily adopted. 

 

The Common Core State Standards are: 

• Aligned with college and workforce training expectations; 
• Rigorous in content and the application of knowledge through higher-order skills; 
• Built on strengths and lessons of previous state standards;
• Informed by standards in other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our economy and society; and
• Evidence-based, clear, understandable, and consistent.
