English Language Arts

 

We don’t know what the jobs of tomorrow will be, but we do know our future depends on a strong workforce — and today’s schools must prepare our kids to be part of it.

In 2013, California updated the academic standards for English Language Arts. Academic standards are important because they help ensure that all students, no matter where they live, are prepared for success in college and the workforce. Standards provide an important first step — a clear roadmap for learning for teachers, parents, and students. Having clearly defined goals helps families and teachers work together to ensure that students succeed. They also will help your child develop critical thinking skills that will prepare him or her for college and career.
