student achievement: what students should know and be able to do
in PreK-Grade 12 as a result of skilled instruction. Core
performance indicators are common to all
four ELA standards and are specific to
grouped grade levels according to the
following configuration:
|
PreK K1 |
234 |
56 |
78 |
9101112 |
