NWRPDP: Nevada's Common Core Standards

One of the Northwest Regional Professional Development Program's main missions is to provide professional development opportunities and resources that help Nevada educators make better use of our state's adopted standards.

In Spring 2010, our State Board of Education adopted a draft of new common core standards for reading, writing and mathematics. The NWRPDP is in the process of developing resources and workshops to help Nevada teachers implement these standards in the coming year.

On this page at NWRPDP.com, we will house information about these common core standards to assist our teachers in this transition.
