Walch supports the adoption of the Common Core State Standards and is dedicating substantial resources to helping our partners as they transition. We understand, because you have told us, that every state and often every district will have unique needs and requirements, and we stand ready to assist.

As a first step, we are launching a series of rigorous, proven Common Core supplements. These are designed to extend and enhance the classroom experience, and can give teachers an early look, from a practical perspective, at what the Common Core is all about.

Please come here often as we will be adding more products every month to the list below.

And, if you would like to discuss specifically how we could help you and your district in the transition, or if you would like us to notify you as new products become available, please drop us a note at commoncore@walch.com, including your areas of interest: High School or Middle School, Math or English/Language Arts.

The Common Core Integrated Pathway: Math 1 Resources is a complete set of curriculum materials for a Common Core Math 1 program that embodies both the content and the Mathematical Practices of the Common Core State Standards. The program is currently in development and will be completed for use in the fall of 2012. Samples are available for review at the above link.
