State and National Standards

Professional organizations and the state have developed standards for what skills students will need in the 21^st century. Wisconsin is currently revising its content standards to reflect these.  21^st-century students need more, not less, instruction to be prepared for the future. New state and national education, technology, and information literacy standards all place an emphasis on learning outcomes.
