Academic Standards

Go to Word Document Files
The Standards are organized around Unifying Standards, Focus Goals and Learning Objectives. It is important to understand this organizational structure we have designed:

Unifying Standards represent constant, steadfast targets that all students aim for each and every year.They do not change from grade level to grade level.

Focus Goals are level specific. They are considered "sub-targets" of the Unifying Standard, and should be achieved by the end of a school year.

Learning Objectives are level specific. They are more definitive and specific than Focus Goals, and they define skills and knowledge that most students will need to learn in order to proficiently achieve the focus goals.
