Academic Standards/Curriculum
The Pennsylvania Department of Education has adopted the Standards-Aligned System (SAS). This is a comprehensive approach to support student achievement across the Commonwealth. The curriculum framework specifies what is to be taught for each subject in the curriculum. In Pennsylvania, curriculum frameworks include Big Ideas, Concepts, Competencies, and Essential Questions aligned to the Standards and Assessment Anchors and, where appropriate, Eligible Content.
On July 1, 2010, the Pennsylvania State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards in English/Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics, making Pennsylvania the 18th state to do so. The Pennsylvania State Board of Education has identified a strong alignment between Common Core State Standards and the Pennsylvania Standards.
