Classroom Content Standards
The State Board of Education (SBE) adopted content standards for the four core curriculum areas (English–language arts, mathematics, history–social science, and science) to meet the requirements of California Education Code (EC) Section 60605. In November and December 1997, the SBE adopted content standards for English–language arts and mathematics, respectively. In October 1998 the SBE adopted content standards for history–social science and science.
The SBE adopted content standards in visual and performing arts, physical education, health education, and foreign (world) language to fulfill the requirements of EC sections 60605.1, 60605.2, 51210.8, and 60605.3. The visual and performing arts standards were adopted in January 2001, physical education model content standards in January 2005, health education standards in March 2008, and foreign (world) language standards in January 2009.
Generally, the content standards are organized by grade level. In some instances they are organized by grade clusters or subject matter disciplines. The content standards form an anchor for the statewide assessment system as well as the State's curriculum frameworks and instructional materials adoptions in the core curriculam areas.
