College and Career Ready Standards

The College and Career Readiness Standards (Common Core Standards + 2010 Arizona Additions) are the result of a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). Governors and state commissioners of education from 48 states, 2 territories and the District of Columbia committed to developing a common core of state standards in English-language arts and mathematics for grades K-12.  Learn more by exploring the links below.
