Core Content Connectors (CCCs) identify the most salient grade-level, core academic content in ELA and Mathematics found in both the Common Core State Standards and the Learning Progression Frameworks. CCCs illustrate the necessary knowledge and skills in order to reach the learning targets within the LPF and the CCSS, focus on the core content, knowledge and skills needed at each grade to promote success at the next, and identify priorities in each content area to guide the instruction for students in this population and for the alternate assessment.

The following view of the Core Content Connectors (CCCs) is formatted in a similar fashion to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). This view begins with the CCSS and then lists each CCC that is linked to that specific standard. This view shows explicitly how each CCSS is broken down into multiple CCC's. This view may be helpful when collaborating with general education colleagues.
