Report on CCSS available from the Alliance for Excellent Education

While forty-six states and the District of Columbia have adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), approximately two-thirds of Americans say they have never heard of them, according to results released on August 21 from the PDK/Gallup Poll.

To better inform the public about the standards while also addressing the many misimpressions surrounding them, the Alliance released a new report, Common Core State Standards 101, that examines how the CCSS initiative came about, what role the federal government did-and did not-play in their adoption, and how to ensure that the standards deliver on their promise to fundamentally improve the quality of teaching and learning in the United States.
