//Pennsylvania approved the Common Core standards on July 2, 2010.//

What are the Common Core Standards?
Common Core is a voluntary, state-led process intended to improve the rigor of academic standards nationwide and ensure comparability of student achievement measurement across states.

According to the Common Core State Standards Initiative, "The common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our youngpeopl.e need for success in college and careers."
