2024-2025 Course Standards

Legend

Essential standards (highlighted in green below) are big, powerful ideas that are necessary and essential for students to know to be successful in a course. Essential standards identify the appropriate verb and cognitive process intended for the student to accomplish. Essential standards provide value throughout a student's career, in other courses, and translate to the next level of education or world of work.

Objectives/Indicators (rows not highlighted in green below) provide another level of detail for each Essential Standard.

Adapted or Adopted Course includes essential standards and, in many cases, specific objectives/indicators aligned with business and industry standards and/or criteria for credentials or certifications. The course standards are designed using the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy (RBT). If the POL is a CTE State Assessment, the course is written at the level of the ESSENTIAL STANDARD and assesses the intended outcome of the sum of its objectives/indicators.
