There was a lot of discussion of the various and confusing usages of "common core" in another thread recently - I can't vouch for the correctness of any of it, but I suspect Dude's post here:

may be pertinent.
Unfortunately, you've conflated the links provided, an error which I had also made when first beginning to both read CCSS and also read about Common Core.
Please see post
http://giftedissues.davidsongifted....t_do_you_think_of_potent.html#Post163364
which contains the same link provided earlier in this thread.

I've backtracked through my link list and see that this where I first began to understand Common Core as having a specific curriculum component... there is a "placement" of certain academic content, for example "Grapes of Wrath", as shown at CCSS links including http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy and in the Appendices linked from that page.
