New state standards published on LEARN NC
Posted May 11, 2011 · by Emily · in We're working on it
North Carolina’s Standard Course of Study is in the midst of a complete overhaul. In the 2012-2013 academic year, North Carolina will begin using new standards in teaching and assessment. LEARN NC is working to make sure that our collection of instructional resources aligns with the new standards and that teachers can easily find the materials they need on our website.
During the 2011-2012 school year, we’ll be aligning our collection of lesson plans to the new standards, and we’ll make those alignments available as we go. Teachers will be able to use the new Common Core and Essential Standards to navigate to lesson plans and other instructional materials, just as they can with the current Standard Course of Study.
For now, you can view the text of the new Common Core and Essential Standards on our curriculum standards page. The current Standard Course of Study is still available on that page as well, and can still be used to find resources for teaching.
We look forward to supporting teachers through this momentous change, and, as always, we welcome your feedback!
Any idea when the new standards will be out?
With the exception of the guidance standards, they’re out now, and can be seen on our curriculum standards page: http://www.learnnc.org/scos/
