Common Core Standards

At Red Jacket, we have fully embraced the Common Core State Standards and all staff members are working diligently to increase student achievement through their use of data-driven
 instruction. We are working to create a K-12 curriculum that is both horizontally and vertically aligned. Professional development is focused on the common core standards, curriculum development, and best practice high impact strategies for student success. This page lists links to websites that explain the common core and other NYS initiatives. 

Over the next three years, we will begin to study and then implement the Next Generation ELA and Math standards that New York State has developed. We are also working with the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) and the Frameworks for Social Studies. The new standards will bring about changes in curricula, as well as assessment.
