Common Core standards promote student achievement in parochial and public schools alike
Originally Published in Michigan Live by Jim O’Donnell on September 16, 2014
Now that Michigan schools are back in session, teachers and students are operating within the framework of Common Core State Standards that were adopted by Michigan’s State Board of Education in 2010 and supported by the Michigan Legislature in 2013.
They are the same standards now used across 43 states working to set stronger benchmarks for English/language arts and mathematics for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
