Due to our belief that every student is unique and learns at his/her own pace, we do not implement or assess students based on any Common Core standards. However, since we adopt programs that are also widely used by the public schools, the alignment to Common Core will exist. Companies are making the alignment to Common Core to appeal to the schools. In many cases, the content is not changed, but the alignment is available for ease in utilization by the schools required to meet the standards set by Common Core. In actuality, some of the publishers we are currently using were written before Common Core even existed, yet there is a notable alignment to the Common Core standards presented on the publisher’s website.
