How familiar are you with your state content standards? What do you know about the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) initiative? Here is your chance to get caught up. Below you will find links to all 50 states’ content standards.
There are links to each state’s:
• Main content-standards page
• English Language Arts standards page
• Common Core State Standards page
(Some states’ websites are set up to make the main page the place where everyone needs to start.)
I began the quest while comparing a variety of K-12 state writing standards. (It was quite eye-opening to compare a single content area across many different grades.) If you are interested in teaching writing, be sure to take a look at that post.
