Common Core Standards In Action
LiteracyTA has taken the Common Core Standards and made them actionable. Our literacy strategies, live training programs, and student materials help bring the Common Core into the classroom. Our goal is to offer a common language around literacy that will help unite schools as they strengthen their efforts to make literacy instruction and college and career readiness a part of their everyday routine.

How can LiteracyTA help implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS)?
By themselves, the Common Core State Standards is a static list of student competencies. But with the help of LiteracyTA's powerful student activities and teaching strategies, the Common Core comes alive. Through engaging lessons and interactive activities, students learn the skills that will prepare them for the rigors of academic work and professional environments.
LiteracyTA provides an interactive live training designed to increase teachers' awareness of the Common Core and to help them develop the confidence they need to implement Common Core State Standards (CCSS) school-wide.
LiteracyTA provides a common language and approach to skill-based instruction that will help guide and support teachers as they focus more squarely on the College and Career Readiness Standards.

Common Core Assessment
The responsibility for creating assessments is left up to the individual states. According to the Common Core State Standards Initiative, some states will work together to create common assessments. Assessments will be delivered as early as 2014. Most states will begin with paper exams but will explore the possibility of delivering computerized tests. Individual states will most likely develop a strategic roll-out for administering the Common Core assessments.
