National PTA® partnered with experts on the Common Core State Standards to create grade by grade guides that reflect the standards adopted by more than 40 states. Individual guides were created for grades K-8 and two were created for grades 9-12 (one for English language arts/literacy and one for mathematics). Eleven guides were created in all.  Visit here to view guides. 1/2/12

KCTM is happy to share two apps regarding the Common Core: Mastery Connect and EZ math Core.  Originally, both developers' apps only shared the standards formathematical content (SMC), and not the standards for mathematical practice (SMP);however, at the request of KCTM these developers have now included resources for the SMP. 9/5/11


Curriculum Analysis Tool for CCSS-M/ KCAS-M
Some members have asked us what kinds of curriculum analysis tools KCTM can share.  Here are two documents, produced by a team led by Dr. Bill Bush, University of Louisville, to assist you and yours in analyzing prospective curricular alignments to the CCSS-M.  One is a PPT for professional development purposes and the other is the tool itself.  3/4/12
