What is the Common Core Standards? Its "clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them." Parents, students, teachers are encouraged to know the standards that their child should meet in order to continue with their education.
"The standards are internationally benchmarked and provide our students with an edge in the global jobs market by ensuring mastery of knowledge and skills needed to perform today's high-skill, high-wage occupations." We should help our students to succeed in college and participate in their education so they can continue with their career. The more involved we are as parents, and a community we can help make a difference in every child's education.
Why is the common core significant? It helps us make sure that every student is learning the material and we can make sure they have all the requirements to continue with there lives and education successfully. If we didn't, many people wouldn't have the education that they have today. Our education gives us knowledge and life. We can make a difference, help make our world better and continue to learn about the universe that we live in. They are effective in every way so that we can help the other students who need help and get them the help they need. Everyone deserves to have there education, but an excellent on that can lead them to a better future. They only cons that this may have is on the students with disabilities. But with the resources that we have today we can help them reach the standards and make sure they receive the same education as everyone else.
In my opinion I believe that all these standards we have are effective. With them we are able to see the strengths and weakness's of the students. It just helps make sure that everyone is learning the material that they need.

I'm curious why you think the Common Core standards may be a 'con' for students with disabilities?!? My take on them is that they are so general that they can be massaged to work for a variety of student needs, so wanting to hear your perspective!
