National StandardsNational Standards Address the overall purpose of reading, writing and

mathematics in learning

Are a consistent way for teachers to make judgements about student’s learning

Nationally referenced

They do not distinguish all the items of knowledge or specific skills and attitudes that students use as they read, write and computate

Teachers will use the standards to guide them when deciding the ‘best fit’ level for each child

Are a tool to guide ‘where to next?’
