• Common Core Standards– College and Career Readiness Standards and K-12

Standards in Mathematics and Language Arts– Joint effort with National Governors Association (NGA)

and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) – 48 states have signed on to be part of the process

• Race to the Top – Competitive grants to encourage and reward States that

are creating the conditions for education innovation and reform

– STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)

Third Credit of Mathematics• New policy will take in effect for class of 2013

(freshman this year)• Clear expectations on first two credits in

mathematics – Algebra / Integrated I– Geometry / Integrated II

• Third Credit – Algebra 2 / Integrated III– Algebra 2 CTE course– Another course that addresses HS math that

continues students with their career path

ACADEMIC LEARNING STANDARDS

Revised learning standards for K-12 mathematics are adopted (July 2008)

Newly revised math standards should be Implemented in K-8 as well as Alg 1/Int I

classes

Full implementation of new high school math standards
