California Standards Mission Statement:

"The California 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 their students. 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."

California Standards at SMMUSD

SMMUSD has already begun transitioning from California's Content Standards in Math and English Language Arts to the recently adopted California Standards. Educational Services Department is committed to assisting teachers,administrators, and parents to learn about the CCSS and access the information and training needed for successful implementation.
