Common Core Standards

The Council of the Great City Schools' parent roadmaps provide guidance to parents about what their children will be learning and how they can support that learning in grades K-5 in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics. 

These parent roadmaps for each grade level also provide three-year snapshots showing how selected standards progress from year to year so that students will be college and career ready upon their graduation from high school.
