Common Core State Standards: Implementation Tools and Resources

The Council of Chief State School Officers developed this list of free tools and resources to support state education agencies, districts, and educators during the process of implementing the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). This document primarily lists resources developed by CCSSO and other leading organizations and is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all available resources.

Content Comments

This is the fifth edition of this document and was released on October 2, 2013. CCSSO plans to provide future updates to the document hosted in the same location on the website. The purpose and organization of the guide are easy to view and promote easy access to materials specific to different groups’ interests and needs. Sections include information about the standards generally and specifically for SEAs, parents, businesses, teachers, higher education institutions, and more. While the user will have to use some discretion in selecting materials from ‘linked’ sites, identified resources are generally of high quality and would prove to be useful in relation to a variety of CCSS needs.
