Common Core Toolkit for Parents & Families

With the implementation of the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in 45 states, many parents have questions about how the school curriculum has changed and what is now expected of their child.


Click here to find answers to frequently asked questions, tips on how to help your child, educational activities, detailed guides to the standards for each grade level and more. These helpful resources found in the Toolkit for Parents and Families have been provided by the NYS Education Department @ EngageNY.org. 


For additional information, ask a Librarian at the Children's Reference Desk about our selection of CCSS books for parents and teachers.
