Triumph Learning is developing new and affordable curriculum and learning objects for each of the new Common Core Standards for math at this time.  All new digital curriculum 100% aligned to the CCS will be available August, 2011. Teachers will have access to the same high-quality content in an updated, online format.  The Common Core State Standards focus on core conceptual understandings starting in the early grades.  This gives teachers appropriate time to teach core concepts well, and give students the opportunity to master them.  icore’s support of the CCS will reflect this in all lessons and activities we offer.
 
The Common Core State Standards Initiative was set forth by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The standards were developed by teachers, administrators, and experts, to provide a clear and consistent framework in an effort to prepare our children for college and the workforce.  The core standards are aligned with college expectations, contain rigorous content, build upon strengths of current state standards, and are evidence-based.  These standards are not required, but are available for voluntary adoption in each of the 50 states.  The final draft of the Common Core Standards is available for review.
