Opportunity to Provide Feedback on the Common Core Learning Standards in ELA & Math 

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) is currently conducting a survey of the Common Core Learning Standards in English Language Arts (ELA) and math for pre-K through twelfth grade and is requesting your input on specific standards as part of this process. If you would like to provide feedback on the Common Core Learning Standards in ELA and math, you are invited to take this optional survey by November 30. Please note that NYSED would like feedback from all stakeholders, including administrators, teachers, students, families, and community members. In addition to taking the survey yourself, please consider encouraging other members of your school community to take the survey so that their input can also be considered as NYSED works to strengthen the current standards.
                                                                     
For additional information, including downloadable resources and answers to frequently asked questions, see the AIMHighNY website. For questions, email Carol Donnelly.
