'The State Board of Education this past June adopted the national Common Core standards and they're called 'Common Core' because Maryland along with 48 other states agreed that we would take our present curriculum in Math and English and that we would look at our standards, and accept these national standards which are internationally benchmarked, because we want our students to be internationally comeptitive when they leave high school. So we agreed to revise our curriculum ...'

'Now, it's important to say that our present assessments, the Maryland Assessments, the MSA's they're called, will also have to change -- so while we're working on the curriculum, we're also working on the assessments.'
