Common Core Standards - Santa Ana Unified School District

State Senator Hancock"Several implementation issues arise by California adopting adifferent set of grade 8 math standards from other participatingstates. For example, instructional materials for use in Californiawould need to be different from those used by other states - theunique additional standards may increase the costs of thosematerials for our local school districts. In addition, assessmentconsortia will be developing assessment aligned to the commoncore standards and not the variation adopted in California. Thismay result in issues with our Algebra standards and curriculumnot being aligned with our assessment and accountabilitysystem."
