Wisconsin Common Core State Standards
In June 2010, State Superintendent Evers was the first to formally adopt the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts, including the Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and the Technical Subjects for Wisconsin. Forty-five states have adopted the Common Core State Standards in this effort to bring academic consistency across the states. Efforts are currently underway at the DPI, local school districts, CESAs, professional organizations, and colleges and universities to move forward with the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in schools across Wisconsin.
As of June 18, 2012, the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts, and Mathematics, along with the companion Common Core State Standards for Literacy in All Subjects, are available in printed form through the state DPI Publication Sales Department.
