Plans to adopt and implement Common Core State Standards in the Southeast Region states,

Ω

This study, based on interviews with state officials in the six Southeast Region states examines the processes for adopting and implementing the common standards and aligning assessment programs to the common standards in the Southeast Region states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina). The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort to establish a common set of expectations for what K–12 students are expected to know and be able to do in English language arts and math. The Common Core State Standards were released in June 2010. As of November 2011, 45 states, the District of Columbia, and two territories have adopted the standards and plan to implement them and align assessments to them.
