Washington State Learning Standards Review: Language Arts, Math, and Science Now Available

Aug 20, 2024, 11:39 AM by David Morrill
Periodically, the state is required to review and revise the state’s learning standards, which define what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Following a year-long process of working with teachers, school and district leaders, and community partners, drafts of revised standards in English language arts, math, and science are now available.
