The Common Core State Standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help them. The standards are designed to be robust and relevant to the real world, reflecting the knowledge and skills that our young people need for success in college and careers.

PARCC's newsletter - PARCC Place - offers updates on PARCC's major areas of work, resources, and meetings. The PARCC Place newsletter also features contributions from educators across PARCC states sharing their experiences implementing the Common Core State Standards "in their words."
