Standards do not tell teachers how to teach……but they do help teachers figure out the knowledge and skills their

students should have so that teachers can build the best lessons and environments for their classrooms.

Standards also help students and parents… …by setting clear and realistic goals for success.

Standards provide an accessible roadmap… …for our teachers, parents, and students.
