Common Core Standards - What, Why?Do you know about the Common Core Standards and why they were developed. These standards were not developed by the President, the US Department of Education, or Congress. Instead they were developed by the National Governor's Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers to provide a "common" set of standards for student reading and math expectations across the United States, with the support of major business leaders from firms like Boeing, ADM, Carolina Biological Supply, Intel, and State Farm Insurance. For more information about common core standards, watch this 3-minute video.
