LEARNING STANDARDS TO BE ASSESSED IN SPRING 2010 AND SPRING 2011
Mathematics and Science will assess different learning standards from 2010 to 2011.

*Mathematics: In Spring 2010, high school students will take the Mathematics High School Proficiency Exam, which is based on the 2006 Standards. Beginning in Spring 2011, students will take end-of-course assessments, based on the 2008 Standards, in Algebra I/Integrated I and Geometry/Integrated II. Students in the class of 2013 and beyond must pass both end-of-course assessments or the comprehensive exam to meet the mathematics graduation requirement. Students in middle school who take Algebra I/Integrated I or Geometry/Integrated II will take the grade-level state MSP assessment (for NCLB purposes) and the appropriate end-of-course assessment.

**Science: During the 2010 session, the state Legislature will determine whether science will move to end-of-course assessments or continue with a comprehensive exam beginning spring 2012. The 2009 Science Standards will first be assessed in grades 3-8 in 2011 and in high school in 2012.
