for an enhanced and sustainable digital representation of the Common Core standards
This proposal addresses the need for a common digital data structure to support widespread use of materials being created in conjunction with the Common Core State Standards. The grantee would partner with the nation’s two assessment development consortia to ensure that their work can be implemented and sustained long-term and that U.S. Department of Education requirements are met. We would share the cost of this project with the Gates and Carnegie foundations.
