Introduction
The Higher Order Learning (1999) curriculum offers grade 4 through grade 12 objectives for the Synthesis and Evaluation levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. EdVISION developed this curriculum based on extensive research of standardized and state tests. Additional objectives were added to enhance the content areas.
The New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards were published by the New Jersey Department of Education in May of 1996.
"The core curriculum content standards are an attempt to define the meaning of 'Thorough' in the context of the 1875 State constitutional guarantee that students would be educated within a Thorough and Efficient system of free public schools. They describe what all students should know and be able to do upon completion of a thirteen-year public education.
These standards are not meant to serve as a statewide curriculum guide. They define the results expected but do not limit district strategies for how to ensure that their students achieve these expectations."
New Standards is a collaboration of the Learning Research and Development Center of the University of Pittsburgh and the National Center on Education and the Economy, in partnership with states and urban school districts. The partners are building an assessment system to measure student progress toward meeting national standards at levels that are internationally benchmarked.
These performance standards are built directly upon the consensus content standards developed by national professional organizations for the disciplines.
This Curriculum includes principle components of Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and/or Social Studies. Each subject area encompasses basic and performance-based skills.
The National Science Education Standards were published by the National Academy Press in 1996.
