"Our common core standards checklists are just what you need to
help you keep track of the standards taught in your classroom.
Use these to make sure you are addressing all that you need
to teach throughout the course of the school year. Keep track of
when you have introduced, retaught and assessed each indicator.
The most important parts of the common core are the
anchor standards that carry through from kindergarten to high
school. These have been included with each language arts
checklist so that you don’t lose sight of your essential goals
for teaching and learning."
