Nebraska State Standards and Common Core

Nebraska applied for a grant in the Race to the Top competition and even promised to adopt the Common Core in its application. However, when its RTTT application was denied, Nebraska also opted to create its own new mathematics and ELA standards and write its own standardized assessments.

State Subject Requirements

Parents must “maintain a sequential program of instruction designed to lead to basic skills in the language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and health.”
