West Virginia’s Process State-led initiative to assure • Students have the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in college and work • Fewer, clearer, and higher expectations for student learning • Based on K-12 learning progressions for college and career readiness standards • Multiple rounds of feedback from state curriculum experts, teachers, and feedback groups of educational stakeholders, including higher education, business, and community partners

West Virginia’s Next Generation CSOs • WV Next Generations CSOs are supported by the Governor’s Office, legislative leadership, WV Board of Education. • The standards are benchmarked to the top performing nations around the world. • The standards reflect the real-world expectations of what students “need to know” and “be able to do,” including critical thinking with collaborative and independent problem solvingusing effective communication skills 4. Decisions about how to teach, the tools, materials and textbooks are ALL local decisions. 5. No personal data about student learning and achievement will ever be shared or sold to vendors because of strict adherence to Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

  8. Mathematics Key Shifts • K-5 students gain a solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and decimals. • Through hands on learning in geometry, algebra, probability, and statistics, middle grades build upon their strong math foundation. • High school students practiceapplying mathematics ways of thinking to real world issues and challenges in an integrated approach to mathematics.
