What are the Alaska Education Standards?
These standards are already defining the way Alaska approaches education issues. The focus has shifted from what goes into our education system to what comes out of it. The standards will accomplish three primary goals:
- Standards will give students and teachers a clear and challenging target.
- Standards will help focus energy and resources on the bottom line: student achievement.
- Standards will give all of us a tool for judging how well our students are learning and how well our schools are performing.
Example of an Alaska Education Standard: Eighth Grade Science
The student demonstrates an understanding of the processes of science by:
- Asking, questions, predicting, observing, describing, measuring, classifying, making generalizations, inferring and communicating.
