Common Core State Standards Resource Review
All five states in the Southeast Comprehensive Center (SECC) region have adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as a vehicle for preparing college- and career-ready students. To assist these states with their implementation of the CCSS, program associates from the SECC do an exhaustive review of the CCSS resources in order to provide the best CCSS resources to the states in the SECC region. These resources are updated twice annually to provide SECC states with guidance in implementing the CCSS.

August
During August, SECC staff complied resources related to how students progress through high school using the Common Core State Standards for English/language arts and mathematics. A state from the region asked for guidance in making decisions about course offerings in high school now that the CCSS has been adopted and is being implemented. The document provides assistance and resources to states planning high school course offerings and descriptions. These new resources will be added to the biannual CCSS resource document that SECC provides to all states in the region.
