The Common Core State Standards are designed to help all children – no matter who they are – learn the same skills. They create clear expectations for what your child should know and be able to do in key areas: reading, writing, speaking and listening, language and mathematics. If you know what these expectations are, then you can work with the teacher and help your child prepare. A critical component of a student’s success in school is dependent on what and how they learn at home. Because this component is so critical the State Education Depart- ment created a toolkit of resources for families to get a better understanding of their role. The toolkit is a collec- tion of materials and resources that will help parents and families understand the New York State education reform initiatives and how the changes will help your child graduate from high school ready for college and careers. The Toolkit includes: • Parent's Backpack Guide to the Common Core • Frequently Asked Questions • What Parents Can Do to Help their Children Learn • Common Core Resources for Parents to Learn More • Guides to the Common Core Standards • Educational Activities • Videos Families are encouraged to use these tools in conjunction with resources and information you receive from your child’s school and teachers.

The Common Core State Standards are designed to help all children – no matter who they
are – learn the same skills. They create clear expectations for what your child should know
and be able to do in key areas: reading, writing, speaking and listening, language and
mathematics. If you know what these expectations are, then you can work with the teacher
and help your child prepare.
A critical component of a student’s success in school is
dependent on what and how they learn at home. Because
this component is so critical the State Education Depart-
ment created a toolkit of resources for families to get a
better understanding of their role. The toolkit is a collec-
tion of materials and resources that will help parents and
families understand the New York State education reform
initiatives and how the changes will help your child
graduate from high school ready for college and careers.
The Toolkit includes:
• Parent's Backpack Guide to the Common Core
• Frequently Asked Questions
• What Parents Can Do to Help their Children Learn
• Common Core Resources for Parents to Learn More
• Guides to the Common Core Standards
• Educational Activities
• Videos
Families are encouraged to use these tools in conjunction
with resources and information you receive from your
child’s school and teachers. For more information visit
