Common Core standards for ELA and Literacy

What is the purpose of the college and career readiness standards?
 These standards identify what students should be able to do upon entering a college or career- any aspect of life. Upon graduation when these standards are met, students will be able to better adapt to the world around them in that they will already know how  to personalize their world. The standards apply more directly to the student.




What are the benefits and challenges of the shift to reading and writing non-fiction texts?

 Literature needs to include informational text. The standards call for informational text to breech across the subjects history, English, etc. in order to personalize a child's world around them.


What are the benefits and challenges of having standards for science, social studies, and technical subjects?

This is important for students to have the ability to take any information and apply it to life after high school. A benefit would be increasing the students' ability to discern between truth and fallacy in articles applied directly to their world.
