for tools to evaluate the relationship of educational materials to the Common Core
Currently, there are no accepted guidelines to help teachers choose high-quality instructional materials aligned to the Common Core. The Center proposes to fill that void by producing a concept paper that defines alignment, developing an evaluation process for educators to follow, and identifying examples of materials that meet the standards.
