Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are an updated set of curricular standards that have been developed with the intention of unifying curricula and standards across all 50 states. Schools in California will teach to these standards beginning with the 2014-15 school year. As a school district we begin out implementation of CCSS in math through the adoption of a brand new state adopted math curriculum, GO MATH. This fantastic new program is aligned with the new standards.
