NYS Learning Standards

What does Standards-Based Educational REALLY mean?

The learning standards for each subject area tell us what students "should know and be able
to do" at each grade level.

In a standards-based educational system the curriculum is taught and assessed consistently
at each grade level.

Teachers inform students of learning outcomes so they are aware of what they "should know
and be able to do".

It is the core curriculum that specifies what each student in New York State "should know and
be able to do".

Standards help teachers focus their instruction, which should result in higher student
achievement.
