| Education Excellence
The District of Columbia has adopted new, more challenging learning standards designed to encourage the highest achievement of every student, by defining the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should acquire at each grade level. The new learning standards in reading/English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, physical education, health, and the arts are among the best in the nation and are the cornerstone of the school system’s commitment to provide an excellent education to each student. Select the links below for the approved learning standards and guides to the math and reading/ELA standards:
Guides for parents and families
These guides include a sampling of the learning standards in each grade, plus suggested home activities and a checklist of questions that parents and family members can ask teachers and principals about the standards.
