Did you know that fewer than 40% of Illinois students earn degrees from either a two- or four-year postsecondary institution (http://commoncoreil.org/faq/)? Our schools can and need to do better! Under the new Common Core standards, our students will gain skills, knowledge and the ability to apply that knowledge to the challenges facing them after graduation. All students deserve to succeed in co...llege and the work force.
The Common Core standards are all about depth over breadth to ensure that our students really know their stuff! With fewer topics to learn in math and English language arts, students will become real pros in the material they do cover.
