Common Core and State Standards

While we know that not every state uses Common Core standards, and some states have their own standards, the following general categories of standards go across the Core in Language Arts and Social Studies, apply to this project, and will, we hope, be useful to teachers doing this project in all states. If you have any questions, please contact Lauren Granite (granite@centropa.org, 301-787-0052).
