These
criterion-based rubrics and review processes
to evaluate the quality of lessons and units intended to address the
Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and ELA/Literacy have been
developed by The Tri-State Collaborative, comprised of educational
leaders from Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island and facilitated
by Achieve.
The rubrics are posted on Engageny.org, along with the slides that explain how to use each rubric.
Student Achievement Partners assembled and published many
free resources especially useful for implementation of the Common Core Standards. On their site,
