The Common Core State Standards are K-12 academic standards in English language arts and mathematics developed through a state-led initiative coordinated by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers, with final standards released in June 2010. They aimed to make learning expectations consistent across US states so that graduates are prepared for college and work. Adoption was state by state rather than federal, and the standards became one of the most publicly debated reforms of the decade, with several states later revising or rebranding them.
