Wappingers Central School District

The Board of Regents adopted the newly revised English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards on September 11, 2017. The new standards have been the result of over two years of collaborative work to ensure New York State has the best learning standards for our students. Over 130 educators and parents worked together to make recommendations and revise the standards, resulting in a new set of revised English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards.

To help parents prepare for the transition to the Next Generation Learning Standards, the New York State Education Department collaborated with multiple partners, including parents, to develop a brochure that provides parents helpful information about the Next Generation Learning Standards. This resource includes a description of the role of standards in the instructional cycle, an FAQ about the standards, and links and resources to support classroom learning.
