Moderate Liberal

Very strongly agree

Yes, I support a national base standard but allow states and local districts to customize their implementation

This is the ideal moderate liberal position: support for a national baseline with flexibility for local adaptation. This approach was reflected in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, which gave states more control while maintaining federal standards.

Neutral

No, my state’s current standards exceed the Common Core standards
