Common Core State Standards

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers. The Standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts, to provide clear and consistent frameworks to prepare our children to be career and college ready. Below you will find links to pages that will include a variety of information and resources. The toolkit below will be developed with the administrator in mind. You can download and print the resources, adapt and use to fit your school's needs. This site will provide you with helpful information for implementing the Common Core State Standards in your school. Check back often as more information in added. 

For questions or more information please email commoncore@nyscirs.org.
