In Support of Common Core Catholic Identity

Catholic schools and dioceses have chosen to adapt standards from the CCSS or other sources because they want to insure that the academic goals they set for their students are rigorous.  They want to provide students with a curriculum that is rich in the classics and in the study of math and the sciences while providing curriculum that is fully integrated with our Catholic faith.  Catholic educators will  never forget that our schools exist to bring our students to Christ.   By adapting standards from the CCSS that are challenging, they are working to fulfill the promise of quality Catholic education that educates the whole child, mind and soul.  The Catholic Identity Curriculum Integration initiative supports Catholic school educators in these efforts.

This section includes statements of support, articles and other information that provides a context for why so many have incorporated this initiative into their work.
