Achieve and the U.S. Education Delivery Institute have developed a practical Common Core Implementation Workbook for all states in the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC).

It provides relevant information, case stories of good practice, key questions and hands-on exercises for leadership teams to complete together.
