The SC Department of Education recently announced that South Carolina is now the 25th state to adopt a national set of academic benchmarks that detail the math and reading skills students will learn as they move up through public school grades.
 
The State Board of Education has voted to adopt the “Common Core Standards” developed by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers – the first time states have collaborated to determine what students should know. The initiative’s goal is to standardize academic goals that vary considerably from one state to the next. More than 40 states are currently working toward Common Core approvals.
 
The Common Core standards were developed over the last 12 months by teachers, parents, school administrators, civil rights leaders, education policymakers, business leaders and others from across the country. The group produced multiple drafts and collected comments from more than 10,000 people online. The Common Core will make learning easier for students whose families relocate to South Carolina.
