On August 2, 2010, California adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), according to the initiative’s website. To help California teachers transition to these new Standards, the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE) has launched a new application (app) that instructors can access using their smartphones.
The SCOE’s eStandards Web app is free, and instantly connects K-12 teachers and administrators to the CCSS. Educators who download this program onto their mobile device will have the ability to make sure their English and math lessons are aligned with the Common Core.
"We are always looking for new and better ways to help our teachers," said David W. Gordon, Sacramento County superintendent of schools. "It is our hope that this California Common Core resource will help teachers and curriculum specialists better apply the Standards in their daily lessons."
Sue Stickel, deputy superintendent of schools, added that the information the app provides will also help teachers, students and their parents better understand the CCSS. The simple, yet informative app has been optimized to run on both iOS and Android smartphones.
