Common Core State Standards Initiative

The Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education voted to adopt the Common Core State Standards at its meeting on July 21, 2010.
You can read more about the development of these standards at www.corestandards.org.
Commissioner Mitchell Chester's July memorandum to the Board recommending the Common Core State Standards is accompanied by reports analyzing the standards.
The Commissioner will reconvene the English Language Arts ad Mathematics Curriculum Framework Review Panels in September to consider augmenting the Common Core State Standards with additional standards and other features. All districts will be expected to align their curricula to the new standards by the start of the 2012-2013 school year.
