Learning Standards

Ohio’s Learning Standards identify what students should know and be able to do.

How can educators use Ohio's Learning Standards?

Educators use learning standards as a basis for instruction and assessment. Educators can review the learning standards that students are expected to master in the next unit. This helps create plans to ensure that instruction, class activities and classroom assessments are aligned to those learning standards.
