The Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for English Language Arts and Literacy in
History/Social Studies, Science and Technical Subjects Unpacked, with explanation
This unpacked version of the CCSS was developed by the North Carolina Department
of Public Instruction. It honors the integrated approach of the common core in its
unified explanations of how to think about groups of standards and how they can
be infused into instruction. There are many versions of unpacked standards being
developed around the nation, but though there may be slight variations in format,
all can help start the conversation about what the standards mean for the classroom
on a daily basis. For without change in instructional practice, the positive effect
of the CCSS will be blunted.
