In January 2011, the NYS Board of Regents adopted the NYS P-12 CCLS, which include the Common Core State Standards and a small amount of additional standards uniquely added by New YorkState. The New York State P-12 CCLS were implemented in New York State schools at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year.
The Common Core State Standards will be fully implemented beginning in 2014-2015. As the implementation date nears schools, administrators, and teachers are preparing to make the transition from their current state standards to the Common Core Standards. This is not an easy task, particularly for teachers.eachers have the largest responsibility in this transition. Many will not only have to revamp what they have taught, but also how they teach the material. One of these teachers is Bobbie Faulkner. Bobbie has ten years of teaching experience in Oklahoma.
