Resources

CCSSO, NGA, and lead writers of the standards are developing resources and supporting initiatives to assist states, districts, and schools with implementing the Common Core State Standards. To learn more about state-specific implementation efforts, please visit the "In the States" section of this website. The resources below are intended to improve understanding of the standards and their underlying premises.
In addition to the resources developed jointly, CCSSO and NGA individually support chiefs of state education agencies and governors, respectively. More information about their efforts is available through those organizations' websites:
