Common Core Standards ReleasedJune 2, 2010—If you haven’t seen them already, the final draft of the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts and Mathematics is now available online. For educational publishers, there is one topic of note in the FAQ on the Common Core Standards website: Q. Instructional materials and curricula are key components to making standards usable and real in the classroom. Will CCSSO and NGA be creating common instructional materials and curricula? A. States that adopt the standards may choose to work together to develop instructional materials and curricula. As states join together to adopt the same common core, publishers of instructional materials and experienced educators will develop new resources around these shared standards. Working together will allow states the opportunity to share best thinking and practices as well as pool resources in their efforts to ensure that teachers have the tools they need to successfully implement these standards. During the comment phase for the Common Core Standards draft, AEP asked that states and districts broaden their instructional materials review processes to include supplemental resources so that teachers and students have access to a wide array of resources to meet students’ learning needs.
