After students earn their high school diploma, they have the option of continuing their education in college or entering the workforce. No matter what choice they make, they will be prepared for the next phase of their life thanks to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
According to the CCSS’ website, the knowledge and skills that are provided by these Standards will prepare students for the courses they will take in college, as well as entry-level positions and workforce training programs.
John Battista, assistant superintendent of schools for the Monroe Public Schools district, told Monroe, Connecticut’s Patch website that the Standards will help high school graduates earn a living wage, should they decide to begin their career following their graduation.
"Students need to be college and career ready," Battista told the news source. "Some of our students may choose to enter the world of work and we want them to be ready."
According to the news outlet, a majority of the students who graduate from the district’s Masuk High School choose to enroll in college or technical schools, while some look for work instead.
