For example, students choose two of five different science standards. Scientific Application 2. People and Cultures 3. Decision Making 4. Resource Management 5.
Students complete a standard when they complete all of the work locally required for that standard.
These assignments ask students to apply their knowledge in real-world situations. Twenty-four standards do not necessarily mean 24 different classes. More than one standard can be completed in a course. For example, the Research Process and Academic Writing standards could be completed together as a student develops and uses research skills and presents the findings in written form. The Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments are third and fifth grade tests that measure how well a student has mastered the math, reading, and writing standards as described in the High Standards.
