Common Core State Standards for Mathematics

(CCSSM):

Are world-class

Can potentially elevate the academic

performance of Americas students

Most states have a long way to go:

some less

Teachers and parents overwhelmingly

support them

But we must convince students as well

Standards Relationship to Student Achievement

Is Influenced by . . .

Instructional support materials

produced by state, e.g., teacher guides

Professional development for teachers

sponsored/authorized by state

Assessments and assessment cutpoints that support states standards

CCSSM Congruence and NAEP Mathematics

Performance

The change in the R-square

between a model including only
the congruence measure to one
that adjusted the congruence
measure for the NAEP cut points
yielded a 12% increase.

Teachers Thoughts about CCSSM

After reading sample CCSSM topics for

their grade, ~80% say CCSSM is
pretty much the same as their
former standards

If CCSSM places a topic they currently

teach in a different grade only about
would drop it
