By compiling the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) into grade-specific resources, these books explicitly display proficiency targets for both comprehensive and "unwrapped" standards. Ultimately, this series cuts through the curriculum noise, allowing educators to focus less on deciphering mandates and more on what they do best: teaching students.
