The literature comprehension and writing modes are also vague at all three levels. The state is developing new documents to clarify the standards, but they were not available for review. With the supplemental document, the standards are clear and specific across all three levels. The social studies standards virtually ignore history and civics at the elementary level. U.S. history at the middle and high school levels is also quite broad.
World history is also broad at the middle level and is ignored in high school.
Content advisory committees are working to improve the alignment between the standards and assessments. The state does not provide separate funding for the intervention. All rights reserved.
