Student Performance
Student performance in college, in job training, and on rigorous tests from the ACT and SAT ….
… lagged student performance on state tests.
Simply put: State tests said our kids were doing well, but in the real world, they were struggling.

Goal
The goal of the standards is to increase the level of expectations for students in reading and math proficiency, so they are employable.
The standards do not describe content or curriculum. They describe student outcomes.

History
No Child Left Behind was enacted at the beginning of the Bush administration.
By the middle of those eight years, it was clear that students were not progressing sufficiently.
The Common Core State Standards initiative was developed by Governors and Education Leaders in the last half of the 2000’s.

You have read three texts describing Amelia Earhart. All three include
the claim that Earhart was a brave, courageous person. The three texts
are:
• “Biography of Amelia Earhart”
• “Earhart's Final Resting Place Believed Found”
• “Amelia Earhart’s Life and Disappearance”
Consider the argument each author uses to demonstrate Earhart’s
bravery.
Write an essay that analyzes the strength of the arguments about
Earhart’s bravery in at least two of the texts. Remember to use textual
evidence to support your ideas.

They now have control of your children.”
