Westlake Charter & The Common Core
Educational standards describe what students should know and be able to do in each subject in each grade. In California, the State Board of Education decides on the standards for all students, from kindergarten through high school.
At Westlake, we have been aligning our instructional programs and assessment models to the Common Core for several years. The information below provides additional insight into the Common Core, and how WCS is preparing for it’s implementation. To receive additional, timely information on WCS’ implementation on the Common Core, please subscribe to our newsletter – a link to which can be found on the bottom of our homepage.
