National PTA has released the first in a four-part webinar series designed to educate parents on the Common Core State Standards and empower them to support the transition at school and at home. The goal is for parents to be knowledgeable about the standards and new assessments and to support them every step of the way as states transition to the standards.

Common Core State Standards Overview is an in depth look at the history of the standards, what is new and improved and an understanding of the key differences between old state standards and the benefits of the Common Core State Standards.
