Common Core is a set of educational standards that outline what students should know in mathematics and English language arts at each grade level.
Common Core wants students to be able to share their ideas clearly and respectfully. This means making smart arguments, listening to others, and working together to solve problems.

You use these skills when you debate where to go for dinner, present a project in class, or talk with friends about your favorite movie.
Writing a letter to your principal explaining why your school should have a new club.
Discussing with your classmates which book to read as a group.
