The CCR Anchor Standards define the cross-disciplinary literacy expectations and mathematical practices students must master by the end of high school to be prepared for college-level coursework and workforce training. These anchors serve as the foundation for the grade-specific Common Core State Standards (CCSS).

Key skills: Primary source analysis, Secondary source evaluationWrite arguments focused on discipline-specific content.
Key skills: Historical argumentation, Content-specific writingThe CCR Anchor Standards are the 'backbone' of the curriculum. While grade-specific standards provide the year-by-year roadmap, educators use the anchors to ensure long-term vertical alignment. In Science and Social Studies, these standards focus on literacy (reading and writing) rather than specific content facts, which are typically covered by state-specific or NGSS frameworks.
Student achievement is typically assessed through state-level standardized tests (e.g., Smarter Balanced, PARCC) and national college entrance exams like the SAT and ACT, which are aligned with CCR benchmarks.
