| WV | Adopted 06/2012 | P-12 | Defines content standards and instructional goals and objectives for mathematics program of study, consistent with West Virginia's move to adopt the common core standards. Broadens scope of mathematics curriculum to include 21st century content standards and objectives as well as 21st century standards and objectives for learning skills and technology tools. Organizes around the three major components of a standards-based curriculum: learning standards, instructional objectives and performance descriptorsfor grades 2-12. The standards, objectives and performance descriptors are designed to provide clear, consistent priorities and focus, as well as depth of knowledge. The objectives spiral upward through the grade levels, eliminating repetition of content and increasing in rigor and depth of knowledge throughout the student's academic career.
Asserts that the vision of the state board and department includes the triangulation of mathematics content, learning skills and technology tools standards within each classroom so that students will be able to think critically, analyze information, comprehend new ideas, communicate, collaborate, solve problems and make decisions. Makes all mathematics teachers responsible for the integration of Policy 2520.14 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools in their classroom instruction. http://apps.sos.wv.gov/adlaw/csr/readfile.aspx?DocId=23773&Format=PDF

| CT | Signed into law 05/2012 | P-12 | Requires that by Fall semester 2016, each public high school and public institution of higher education complete curricular alignment to enable the successful completion of the high school mathematics and language arts curricula, as described in Connecticut's Common Core State Standards, to be the indicator of readiness for college level work. Permits a public institution of higher education to use available evaluation instruments to assess adults, who are returning to or first enrolling in a higher education program at a public institution of higher education after spending time in the workforce, for readiness for college level work.
Requires the Board of Regents for Higher Education to ensure that each public institution of higher education works with the Department of Education and the local and regional school districts to use available evaluation methods for early assessment of the potential for college readiness of each student enrolled in the eighth and tenth grades in a public school and to share the results of the assessment with the student, the student's parents or legal guardian and the public school in which the student is enrolled.

| IL | Adopted 05/2012 | P-12 | From Illinois Register: This rulemaking resulted from the state board's application for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) to design and implement early learning and development systems that are comprehensive in scope and coordinated among the various state agencies charged with administering the programs. The state board served as the lead agency for the application. Agency staff worked with outside consultants, early childhood education advocates and staff from the Department of Human Services (DHS), Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and the Illinois Early Learning Council to prepare the application. Unfortunately, Illinois was not successful in this effort and did not receive the grant.
The lack of funding now available for the initiatives set forth in Part 235, coupled with the public comment received, have resulted in certain initiatives being removed from the rulemaking or their implementation dates being delayed.
Briefly, the amendments address several significant changes that relate to the core focus areas of the federal grant. In particular, efforts were made to coordinate the state board's Preschool for All Children (PFA) and Prevention Initiative grant programs with those offered through or licensed by DHS or DCFS. In particular, the proposed amendments required any recipient of these grants to use the DHS' Tiered Quality Rating and Improvement System (a requirement that has since been removed from the rulemaking) and continue to require that grantees register certain staff in DHS' Gateways to Opportunity staff registry and credentialing system.
Additionally, a portion of the federal grant was to be used to continue the agency's efforts to develop and implement a kindergarten readiness tool to gauge a student's progress during the school year. Under the rules as proposed any school district that offers kindergarten (whether full or half day) would be required to administer the Kindergarten Individual Development Survey, or KIDS. While this requirement was placed in 23 Ill. Adm. Code 1 (to be adopted later this spring), Section 235.70(o) of early childhood rules had required that all school districts with PFA grants participate in the limited statewide implementation of KIDS in the 2013-14 school year.
Part 235 amendments include expansion of program standards to address initiatives serving children ages 3 to 5 (see Section 235.Appendix B). While developmental guidelines for infants and toddlers have been removed from the rules due to public comment, the existing learning and developmental standards for children ages 3-5 have been updated and now align to the recently adopted Illinois Learning Standards for
English language arts and mathematics, commonly referred to as the common core standards.
Other changes in Part 235 include the following:
• Requesting in Section 235.20(c)(4) that applicants provide information about other similar programs operating in the same service area, including the number of children estimated to be served, if that figure is known
• Setting in Section 235.30(a)(1)(C) minimum criteria for procedures used to assess the progress of children enrolled in a PFA program
• Clarifying in Section 235.50(a)(1)(A) that consideration in the proposal review process will be given to applicants serving areas where the need for services exceeds the available resources, when that information is available to an applicant.

| LA | Signed into law 05/2012 | P-12 | Relates to the Louisiana Competency-Based Education Program and the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program. Provides greater clarity to the definition of state content standards. Indicates that criterion-referenced tests will be replaced by standards-based assessments and that the exams will be used for language arts and math, and adds that the exams will be for science and social studies, and extends the grades they will be administered from 4-8 (pilot program) to 3-11. Beginning with the 2014-2015 school year, standards-based assessments implemented by the state board in English/language arts and math will be based on the Common Core Standards. The department will establish the level of achievement on certain tests in 4-8th grades that indicate proficiency. Students must demonstrate proficiency to advance to grades 5 and 9.
