Illinois Learning Standards

The Illinois Learning Standards define what all students in all Illinois public schools should know and be able to do  as a result of their elementary and secondary schooling. The Performance Descriptors and aligned Classroom Assessments were developed by Illinois teachers for Illinois teachers to enhance the standards and to serve as resources to help teachers determine local performance expectations at each grade level.
 
New Common Core Standards
 
The New Common Core Standarts have been adopted by the State of Illinois and will replace the former Learning Standards.
