Common Core Toolkit for Educators

The New Jersey Department of Education has created a toolkit of resources designed to help support educators’ conversations with parents regarding the Common Core State Standards.

Below are documents that teachers, principals, administrators and school board members might find useful for back-to-school events, school or district newsletters, school board meetings, or other interactions with parents and the public on the issue of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS):

CCSS for Parents and Families: Overview: This 2-page document provides basic facts about the standards and how they are being implemented in schools.
CCSS for Parents and Families: Myths & Facts: This 2-page document addresses common misconceptions about the CCSS.
CCSS for Parents and Families: Resources: This 2-page document includes an annotated, categorized list of online resources that explain and exemplify the standards.
CCSS Brochure for Parents and Families: This tri-fold brochure includes a basic explanation of the CCSS and remarks from major stakeholders.
