Common Questions about Louisiana State Standards Q: A: What are the Louisiana State Standards? The Louisiana State Standards are learning goals that are designed to prepare our students for college and career success. Standards are not the same as a curriculum. Teachers can still decide how to get kids to the goal. Q: A: Why do we need rigorous standards? Louisiana is 3rd from the bottom in education compared to the rest of the country. More rigorous standards will help give all Louisiana students a higher quality education so they can be successful in today’s economy. Q: A: Who developed the standards? Louisiana has always had standards. State law requires a review of academic standards every seven years. In 2010, higher standards were adopted to ensure Louisiana students could compete with those from other states. The standards are informed by Louisiana teachers, university professors, and independent education experts. Parents, business leaders, and other stakeholders have the opportunity to provide feedback. | 6 | Center for Development and Learning

Standards set the goal; it’s up to the teacher to choose plays to help kids win. Q: A: How will higher standards affect me as a parent? As a parent, you may notice your child’s classwork and homework becoming harder. You may also see a slight drop in grades. While it may be uncomfortable and scary, this is normal because schoolwork and tests are more challenging. Keep in mind that now your kids are getting the high quality education they deserve but weren’t getting before. Q: A: How will higher standards affect students? Having high standards will require students to learn and apply more demanding concepts and procedures, resulting in deeper levels of understanding. Rather than simply memorizing, students will critically think through information and apply what they learn to solve real-world problems and situations. Math Parent Resource Guide K–2 | 7 |
