The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium is committed to supporting member states as they implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Working with educators, Smarter Balanced will identify high-quality curriculum resources aligned to the CCSS and professional development strategies that can be replicated across states. The tools and resources will be posted online and incorporated into the digital library — an on-demand resource to help teachers address learning challenges and differentiate instruction — as part of the assessment system.
Smarter Balanced also participates in collaborative efforts, such as the Math Common Core Coalition, organized by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the English Language Arts Common Core State Standards Coalition organized by the National Council of Teachers of English.
