Abstract

The Common Core State Standards Initiative has provided renewed impetus to school reform. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are intended to more clearly align the school curriculum in English-language arts and mathematics with the expectations of colleges, workforce training programs and employers. They are also intended to promote equity through the provision of quality education to all Americans (NGACBP, 2010).
