CCSS will be implemented in Oklahoma Classrooms. Let OWP help you get prepared!
Oklahoma is still moving forward with full implementation of the Oklahoma Academic Standards, which include standards from the Common Core for mathematics and English Language Arts. Our assessments in 2014-2015 will be aligned to those new standards as originally intended. We simply will not be using the PARCC-created assessments. -Asst. Supt. SDE July 2013
