Standards Review Working Principles

 

 

Through this comprehensive standards review initiative, we will:

 

 

  1. Include three levels of standards:
    1. student standards (content);
    2. teacher standards; and
    3. system standards (infrastructure).

 

 

 

  1. Develop a single set of standards for each content area, although some students may need different levels of support or scaffolding to achieve the learning outcomes (e.g., struggling learners, English language learners, students with disabilities).

 

 

 

  1. Infuse literacy throughout all the content areas.

 

 

 

  1. Infuse cultural competence throughout all the content areas.

 

 

 

  1. Develop measurable standards.

 

 

 

  1. Review PreK-12 standards within the context of a seamless P-16 continuum.

 

 

 

  1. Integrate technology throughout all the content areas.
