Academic standards provide a set of clear expectations as to what students should know, understand and be able to explain as they progress through each K-12 grade level.
Since 1997, Maine has had the Maine Learning Results as its State standards for eight content areas and periodically updates them to ensure they are aligned with the evolving expectations of colleges and careers in the 21st century.
The standards emphasize complex content and concepts and the development of needed real-world skills like problem-solving, collaboration, critical thinking and communication. These skills are imperative for Maine students to succeed and our state to thrive. The standards set a high bar for all Maine students, no matter their school. How Maine educators go about helping students meet and exceed those standards – including curriculum, required reading or school operations – remains entirely a local decision.
