Standards
Standards are integral to the alignment of curriculum, assessment and reporting. For teachers, parents and students, they provide a shared language for describing the quality of student achievement.
The Standards are achievement standards linked to the Essential Learnings. Using a 5-point scale, the Standards describe how well a student has demonstrated their learning based on a collection of evidence. They can also be used to report student progress and achievement.
The Standards are the same for all key learning areas and can be downloaded below.
