Common Core Resources

On August 2, 2010 the State Board of Education approved new English language arts and mathematics standards for our state. These new standards include all of the Common Core Standards plus about 15% more standards that the Standards Commission felt were missing from the Common Core.

Below are resources that ACSA is collecting to assist with the transition to the Common Core Standards.
