[link to http://www.pta.org/common_core_state_standards.asp ]
The Common Core State Standards Initiative (CCSSI) is an effort designed to improve educational outcomes for students by developing a set of common, voluntary, internationally-benchmarked academic standards in mathematics and English language arts. National PTA
® partnered with experts on the Common Core State Standards to create grade by grade guides that reflect the standards adopted by more than 40 states. Individual guides were created for grades K-8 and two were created for grades 9-12 (one for English language arts/literacy and one for mathematics). Eleven guides were created in all. By clicking on "Common Core State Standards Information for Parents," you will be connected to the these guides, titled Parent Guides for Student Success. For more details, check out the CCSSI overview. (This overview is also available in Spanish.) "
