he Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI), announced in 2009 by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), is a voluntary effort including 48 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands joining together to create common core standards for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.
