All students should graduate from high school ready for college, careers, and citizenship.
Achieve President Michael Cohen was a guest today on The Kojo Nnamdi Show, produced by WAMU 88.5 public radio in Washington, D.C. He discussed the K-12 Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in English and mathematics that were released in June by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). 36 states plus the District of Columbia have adopted the standards. Listen to the program.

To help states and others better understand the Common Core State Standards, Achieve offers a range of materials here.
The materials focus on the organization, content and evidence base used to support the standards, including fact sheets that describe the content areas and address frequently asked questions about the standards.
