Nationwide, teachers and students are rising to the challenge of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), setting the course for student success in college, career, and in life.The National Network of State Teachers of the Year and The Hunt Institute, in partnership with the AFT, NEA, and National PTA^®, have worked with The Ignite Show to develop four special episodes highlighting the effective implementation of CCSS in the classroom.

Created by the Council of Chief State School Officers and The Hunt Institute, these videos provide information ranging from a brief, animated overview video to an in depth look at various components of the English language arts and mathematics standards.

This video from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute gives an engaging and clear summary of the organization’s recent report, “Putting a Price Tag on the Common Core: How Much Will Smart Implementation Cost?”
