Restrict your sodium (salt) intake. Try to limit sodium intake to less than 1,500 milligrams a day. This target is especially important for middle-aged and older people, African-Americans, and people with high blood pressure. The DASH diet is a good example of a heart-healthy eating plan that limits sodium intake.
The Common Core is not a curriculum, only a set of standards: goals and expectations for students. Curriculums will still be developed by local teachers, principals, superintendents, and others. Individual lesson plans will still create the lesson plans in their classrooms.
States have developed their own standards for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level since the 1990s. The Common Core replaces those state-developed standards with a new, often more challenging set of expectations for students in math and language arts.he Common Core changes what students are expected to be able to do on those tests. And because the tests are often harder than the tests they replaced, this can lead to a drop in how many students score as proficient in math or language arts.
