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.

  17. Terminology Continued • Essential Standards - The critical skills, knowledge, and dispositions each student must acquire as a result of each course, grade level, and unit of instruction.  • Crosswalk- simply: "A crosswalk links two or more different classification systems." • Strand- A strand is a consistent thread running through a course irrespective of its subject content • Anchor Statement - further defineswhat students should understand ... standard to support the broad college and career ready standards statement.
