Core Content Connectors and Essential Understandings were created for children who are using Alternate Assessments and need a modified curriculum. This group of students makes up 1% of the student population. As Dr. Solone explains, “Common Core Connectors connect you from the Essential Understanding to the Common Core standard as a bridge.”
Even though CCCs were created for a specific set of children who need more intensive support, their classmates can also benefit from learning complicated subjects in smaller, bite-sized pieces.
CCCs and EUs can be found on Element Cards, along with other valuable information, which teachers can use to gain a better understanding of the standards themselves and build more effective lesson plans for all of the students in their class.
