Standards

On January 8, 2002 the No Child Left Behind Act was officially signed into law. This federal legislation required states to create standards identifying their exact learning content for reading and math in grades 3-8. State governments responded as directed by constructing official standards to guide classroom instruction and promote student achievement.

Recently, the Common Core Standards were developed to provide a more consistent understanding of what students are expected to learn.

Teachers can bring this website into their classrooms with the confidence that their curriculum is being strengthened in regards to state standards. Addressing these standards, in turn, prepares students for the high-stakes, standardized tests that are ever present in elementary education.
