March 2007 - Recommendations for the Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Minnesota Department of Education.
Background
When the Minnesota State Legislature overturned the Profile of Learning in 2003, they asked the Department of Education to create a process for writing new standards in math, science, reading and social studies. The standards for creative arts, math, and language arts passed in 2003. The standards for science and social studies passed in 2004. More
The Minnesota Department of Education has also developed standards for English Language Learners and Early Learning (early childhood) and each school district is required to develop local standards for Career and Technical Education, and Health and Physical Education.
Though not required, local school districts are encouraged to develop standards in World Languages.
More information about Minnesota's Academic Standards is available through the Minnesota Department of Education, but just what are standards?
