TRENTON, N.J. — Education Commissioner David C. Hespe is expected to introduce a plan Wednesday aimed at replacing the Common Core State Standards in New Jersey schools.
Gov. Chris Christie announced in May that he would direct Hespe to start crafting new educational standards, called the New Jersey College and Career Readiness Standards.
The Common Core standards were initially adopted by most states in the nation as a way to create consistency through the nation's patchwork of educational systems. Some of the states that originally adopted the educational standards have since reverted to having their own educational benchmarks.
