Mathematics All students should have the opportunity and the support necessary to learn significant mathematics with depth and understanding whereby ideas are linked to and build on one another so students’ understanding and knowledge deepen and their ability to apply mathematics expands. Effective mathematics teaching requires understanding what students know and need to learn and then challenging and supporting them to learn it well. They must learn mathematics with understanding, actively building new knowledge from experience and previous knowledge.

English/Language Arts (ELA) Language Arts instruction is essential for a student to attain a high level of literacy and to function as an informed member of the school and broader community. To communicate effectively, a student must be able to apply skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Because communication instruction crosses all disciplines, the opportunity to apply processes and skills must be provided in all content areas.
