Background:

As required by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the school board includes a notice of adopted academic standards on its agenda at the start of the school year. The academic standards addressed are:
Common Core State Standards (CCSS): Adopted on September 27, 2012, they form the foundation of classroom instruction and professional development.
Common Core Essential Elements (CCEE): Provide students with significant intellectual disabilities the same challenging expectations as the CCSS and they serve as the foundation of instruction in the classroom and of professional development for teachers and principals.
Career and Technical Education Standards (2013): Cover six content areas for grades PK-12, preparing students for college and careers. ( Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, Business and Information Technology, Family and Consumer Sciences, Health Science, Marketing, Management, and Entrepreneurship, Technology and Engineering)
Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS) (2014): Emphasize child-initiated and teacher-initiated activities for early learning. These standards reflect the belief that children should be provided with opportunities to explore and apply new skills through child-initiated and teacher-¬ initiated activities and interactions with peers, adults, and materials.
Next Generation Science Standards (2017): Identify essential science and engineering content and practices for K-12 students. These include elementary science, physical science, life science, earth and space science, engineering, technology, and applications of science in middle and high school.
Social Studies Standards (2018): Establish foundational knowledge and skills for appropriate grade levels.
Common Core State Standards for World Languages (2019): Support bilingualism and biliteracy.
English Language Development (ELD) Standards (2021): Focus on expanding multilingual learners' communication abilities. The standards are aligned to the academic content standards to plan for both language and content learning, allowing for the engagement of multilingual students in the learning process.
Wisconsin Career and Technical Education (CTE) Standards (2024): Set knowledge and skills necessary for successful transition to postsecondary programs and careers. (Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources; Business and Information Technology; Family and Consumer Sciences; Health Science; Marketing, Management and Entrepreneurship; and Technology and Engineering).
Wisconsin Academic Standards: Cover areas not addressed by CCSS, CCEE, and WMELS, including Art and Design, Dance, Environmental Education, Health Education, Information and Technology Literacy, Music Education, Nutrition Education, Personal Financial Literacy, Physical Education, Reading, School Counseling, Theatre Education, and World Languages.
