Ovations Offstage and Common Core Standards
Ovations Offstage events and activities are designed to support Common Core State Standards in Maine.
The Common Core State Standards is a core set of academic standards in mathematics and English Language Arts, which includes literacy in history/social studies, science and technical subjects. The Common Core State Standards build directly on recent efforts of leading organizations and states that have focused on developing college- and career-ready standards and ensuring these standards are evidence- and research-based and internationally benchmarked to top-performing countries. These core standards represent critical learning targets for literacy and numeracy. In the 2010-2011 school year, Maine began implementing the Common Core State Standards for English and mathematics by conducting an alignment study and gap analysis, providing professional development and support for instruction, and by working with other adopting states to develop an aligned assessment system.
The Common Core State Standards align with Ovations Offstage’s commitment to arts integration in education. These guiding principles are compatible with Portland Ovations’ mission to contribute to the cultural, social, and economic well-being of our community by presenting an array of high quality performing artists from around the world and creating diverse educational experiences that bring the enjoyment and arts enrichment to patrons of all ages.
