Standards
College and career-ready standards. A
new set of academic standards benchmarked
against the best national and international
expectations. The goal is to set fewer,
clearer and higher standards that, when
achieved, ensure a student is ready for postsecondary education and work. Standards
include Common Core in ELA and Math and
NC Essential Standards in all other subjects.
Curricular support resources will be
developed to support the transition.

Overview of the Common Core Initiative
o State-led and developed Common Core
Standards for K-12 in English Language Arts
and Mathematics
o Focus on learning expectations for students,
not how students get there

Common Core Rationale
o Equity
Students expectations the same regardless of where they live
o College and Career Readiness
Students need to be more than proficient
o Comparability
State results will be comparable through common assessments
o Sharing of Resources
The ability to share instructional materials across state lines can improve practice
o Economies of Scale
Possible savings due to sharing of resources and assessments
o Student Mobility
Students moving into and out of states will have the same standards

Online EOCs and EOGs
NC is moving towards online only assessments, accessed through the IIS
(by 2014-2015).
Online assessments will allow the state to incorporate technology-enhanced
items and implement computer adaptive testing, which will allow for a more
accurate assessment of student learning.
Support for moving to online assessments includes working with
LEAs/Charter Schools to ensure that schools have the logistical and
technical knowledge and skills to move rapidly to an online testing
environment and a Best Practices Guide for Online Assessments (July
2011).
