To the thousands of teachers who use this website every day in order to write your lesson plans and support your students: Thank you for the hard work you do every day!
The Council of Chief State School Officers has demanded this website be taken offline due to their claim of "copyright infringement".
Rather than provide teachers with a functional website, they have provided these PDFs for you instead.
To view the Common Core State Standards, please use their non-searchable, non-linkable, overwhelming PDF instead.
