The academic content standards define what children should know and be able to do at every grade level.
These standards let teachers know what they are expected to teach, and students know what they are expected to learn. Standards also help educators identify and measure what students know and can do.
The information in the guides will give you a sample of some of the things students will need to know and be able to do in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. The guides also have helpful practice problems, tips, and activities to help students achieve the new standards. |
