The Common Core State Standards Initiative
A significant and historic opportunity for states to collectively develop and adopt a core set of academic standards in mathematics and English language arts, the Common Core State Standards Initiative is being jointly led by the National Governor's Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers in partnership with Achieve, ACT, and the College Board. It builds directly on recent effort of leading organizations and states that have focused on developing college- and career-ready standards and ensures these standards are evidence- and research-based and internationally benchmarked to top-performing countries. - National Governors’ Association
The Common Core Standards can be found online at http://www.corestandards.org/
Update (1/28/10):
There is an anticipated public release date of the first week in February for the newest iteration of the k-12 Common Core Standards in Mathematics. As soon as the document is released for public review a link will be posted to this website along with a survey link for you to provide feedback once you have reviewed the document. There will be a short window of time (approximately two weeks) for us to gather and submit feedback.
