Common Core Standards in literacy and mathematics represent a ratcheting up of standards that teachers teach and that students are expected to learn. In comparison to current Arkansas Frameworks, Common Core Standard are more rigorous, fewer in number, and require a deeper level of complex thinking and problem solving by students. The goal is that all students will graduate college and career ready as a result of learning the Common Core Standards throughout their years of schooling. Assessments in each grade will inform teachers, students, and parents whether students are on track to graduate both college and career ready.

Crossett teachers in grades K through 2 are currently implementing the Common Core Standards in literacy and math. Crossett teachers in grades 3 through 8 have this year to learn about the Common Core State Standards before they must be ready to teach the new standards in school year 2012-2013. Crossett High School teachers must be ready to implement the Common Core Standards beginning in school year 2013-2014. Crossett School District is working on a revamp of the curriculum system, designed to address the changing needs of all students as the Common Core State Standards are implemented. This effort will culminate in a systematic, ongoing program of curriculum development, evaluation, and revision. Curriculum documents in literacy and math, that are aligned with the Common Core State Standards, are being developed in 2011-2012 by a cadre of teachers from each grade level in kindergarten through eighth grade |
