11What are the Common Core State Standards?
- The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) represent
a set of expectations for student
knowledge and skills necessary to succeed
in college and careers. CCSS will
help ensure that students receive a
high quality education consistent, from school
to school and state to state. The
development of the CCSS was spearheaded by two
organizations - the Council of Chief
State School Officers and the National Governors
Association. - The criteria used to develop the CCSS were
- Aligned with college and work expectations
- Include rigorous content and application of
knowledge through high-order skills - Build upon strengths and lessons of current state
standards - Informed by top-performing countries, so that all
students are prepared to succeed in our global
economy and society - Evidence and/or research-based.

12Homework
- All students need to be responsible for their own
homework. - Students are expected to write their homework in
their agenda. All boxes should be filled on
a daily basis. Please check the agendas
regularly to be aware of what assignments
are due. If there is no homework, there should
be something written about what was done in class
or an X in the space. - Assignments are due at the beginning of class,
and will be considered late if they are not ready
to be turned in at that time. Any late
assignments will not receive full credit. All
assignments should be neatly prepared and have
the students name, date, period written in the
upper right-hand corner. - Every other week, we will be going to the
library, where the students will be checking out
books based on their AR levels. There is a link
on the Santiago homepage to take them directly to
the AR website where they can sign in with the
student ID number. If they do not have computer
access at home, they may go to the library before
or after school to take the AR test. They will
also have access to laptops in the classroom
during their free time. - This will be a
requirement toward their reading grade. -
