Please read further for a little more on the California Standards.

The California Standards:

• Are among the most rigorous in our nation.
• Provide a clear, measurable benchmark for what students should learn at each grade level.
• Lead children to become critical and creative thinkers, life-long learners, and well-prepared workers or university students.
• Ensure that all children benefit from high expectations, top quality materials, and education.
• Allow disadvantaged children to be held to the same level of other children..
• Do not mean standardized - they promote breadth and depth knowledge, not rote learning.
