Standards serve as goals for teaching and learning. Setting high standards enables students, parents, educators and community members to know what students should have learned throughout their K-12 experience. WCSD teachers identify the essential standards that all students will need in their future. Teachers use a variety of assessments to measure those essential learning targets.

What are Wisconsin Academic Standards?
Wisconsin Academic Standards specify what students should know and be able to do in the classroom. Wisconsin has academic standards for separate content areas.
Why are Academic Standards Important?
Standards serve as goals for teaching and learning. Setting high standards enables students, parents, educators, and citizens to know what students should have learned at a given point in time. Clear statements about what students must know and be able to do are essential to ensure that our schools offer opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for success.
In addition, public education is a state responsibility. The State Superintendent and Legislature must ensure that all children have equal access to high quality education programs. This requires clear statements of what all children in the state should know and be able to do and the evidence that students are meeting these expectations. Academic standards provide a firm foundation to establish the content of a statewide assessment system.
