3. Grade by grade level standards for each discipline, including three (3) levels at high school to allow for greater differentiation of instruction and to support student learning.

4. The inclusion of media arts standards to support the integration of artistic literacy in the areas of film, animation, gaming and computational art making (e.g., writing software code) to supplement existing standards in the area of digital communications across the curriculum.
