How were the California Common Core Standards developed?
“In anticipation of the release of the Common Core State Standards, the Governor signed
Senate Bill (SB) X5 1 in January 2010. The law required that 21 representatives be
appointed to the Academic Content Standards Commission (ACSC) to develop academic
content standards in language arts and mathematics. Eighty-five percent of the standards
recommended by the ACSC were required to be from the CCSS, and fifteen percent could
be added by California to ensure the rigor of the standards.”

It describes whether there is an alignment and (in bold), how the language for the standards has changed. As you will see, for the most part the topics of study in ELA and Math have not changed, but the depth and rigor with which students need to understand, synthesize and apply content knowledge has.
