New Data Available for the Common Core
Academic Benchmarks has added the ability to provide the AB GUID for the original (National) Common Core State Standard within the states' versions of the Common Core documents. The AB GUID Reference is provided in a separate field, depending on your delivery format. If you receive AB default standard XML, Excel, or csv deliveries, the CCSS AB GUID Ref is now available. If you receive a customized standards delivery, we will need to work with you to add the CCSS AB GUID Ref to your data.
To request that this feature is turned on for your standards delivery, please contact AB Client Support.
