Common Core: Korea incorporates articles, lessons, and extensive resources on Korean history and culture for K-12 classrooms that respond to Common Core objectives and history-social science standards.

Before the publication of Common Core: Korea, Connor was editor and principal author of Asia in Focus: The Koreas and organizer of over 100 days of workshops on Korea.
