CCSSO Partners with Achieve and Student Achievement Partners to Develop CCSS Alignment Tool

By Paul Ferrari

In joint partnership, Achieve, The Council of Chief State School Officers, and Student Achievement Partners have developed a Toolkit for Evaluating the Alignment of Instructional and Assessment Materials to the Common Core State Standards.  The Toolkit is a set of interrelated, freely available instruments for evaluating alignment to the CCSS; each tool in the Toolkit supports the expectations in the CCSS and derives from the Publishers' Criteria for the Common Core State Standards. 

 

The Toolkit can be accessed at www.ccsso.org/alignmenttoolkit. We encourage you to share the Toolkit with your colleagues, state and district administrators, school-based educators and others working to implement the CCSS.
