COMMON CORE . . . .
Parents' Guide to Student Success . . .

The Parents’ Guide to Student Success (listed in English and Spanish) was developed in response to the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and mathematics that more than 40 states have adopted. Created by teachers, parents, education experts, and others from across the country, the standards provide clear, consistent expectations for what students should be learning at each grade in order to be prepared for college and career.

 National PTA® created the guides for grades K-8 and two for grades 9-12 (one for English language arts/literacy and one for mathematics). To view the Parent's Guides in correlation to the Common Core . . . click on the link below.
