 * 3) Common Core (//follow link to access//) (WA is a Common Core State) = professional/educational political movement. Curriculum that is uniformed across schools/states etc to help students to be college ready. This way students in different locations or who move around can continue to follow the common core path and their education will not be disrupted.
 * ELL students cannot necessarily follow this which is why the [|ELP Standards]  (//follow link to access//) were developed. To support students meet standards that are appropriate for them.
 * Note: ELP standards are supposed to be enacted Fall 2014 in WA schools. Common Core implementation has begun.
