Common Core State Standards: a presentation for the California Library Association
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) provide a framework for educational goals in mathematics and English Language Arts/Literacy for students. Adopted by 44 states, including California in 2012, these standards emphasize a balance of informational and literary texts, as well as increased text complexity. The document highlights key shifts in teaching practices and resources available to support educators in implementing these standards.
