Learning Standards to Be Assessed in Spring 2010 and Spring 2011
Mathematics and Science will assess different learning standards from 2010 to 2011.

Subject Grade Level(s) Spring 2010 Spring 2011
Reading 3-8, 10 2004 Standards (GLEs) 2004 Standards (GLEs)
Writing 4, 7, 10 2005 Standards (GLEs) 2005 Standards (GLEs)
Mathematics* 3-8 2008 Standards (PEs) 2008 Standards (PEs)
Mathematics* High school 2006 Standards (GLEs)
 2008 Standards (PEs)

Science 5, 8 2005 Standards (GLEs)
 Anticipated testing of 2009 Standards
Science 10 2005 Standards (GLEs)* 2005 Standards (GLEs)*


*Mathematics: In spring 2010, high school students will take the math 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 who already completed one or more of those classes will take a comprehensive exam in April 2011. Students in the class of 2013 and beyond must pass both end-of-course assessments or the comprehensive exam to meet the math graduation requirement. Students in middle school who take Algebra I/Integrated I or Geometry/Integrated II will take the grade-level state 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.
