The Council has developed videos and Public Service Announcements in English and Spanish to increase awareness of the Common Core State Standards. Click the headline to access the videos.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort to establish a single set of clear educational standards for English-language arts and mathematics that states can share and voluntarily adopt.

The standards will provide more clarity and consistency in what is expected of student learning across the country.
