Achieve the Core is the website for Student Achievement Partners. This is a non-profit group dedicated to helping us all understand and use the Common Core State Standards effectively in our teaching.
While this site is not the easiest to navigate, it has a wealth of information. Keep an eye out for the PLDs (Performance Level Descriptors) for each grade level (3-8). These will help guide your instruction as you move your students toward PARCC success.
Use this link to get to the PLDs: scroll down and click math or language arts to see the grade level links you want. If you want to print the PLDs for a grade level, make sure you've got the paper tray full in your printer--some of them are over 30 pages long.
