The goal of the California Standards is to better prepare students with the skills necessary for success in college and careers. The standards provide a clear and consistent definition of what students are expected to learn in each grade level and define the knowledge and skills that high school graduates need to master. The standards focus on rigorous content and application of knowledge through higher order thinking skills and real life application.

Instructional Services offers direct support to districts and schools to assist with the implementation of the California Standards which include standards that help educate students on reading literature and writing as well.
