So, What is the CCSS?

• 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 young people need for success in
  college and careers. With American students fully
  prepared for the future, our communities will be
  best positioned to compete successfully in the
  global economy.
