ESSENTIAL ACADEMIC LEARNING REQUIREMENTS:

In Washington state, four clear learning goals guide education.  These goals call for students to know and be able to:

GOAL 1 GOAL 2 GOAL 3 GOAL 4
Read with comprehension, write with skill, and communicate effectively and responsibly in a variety of ways and settings. Know and apply the core concepts and principles of mathematics; social, physical, and life sciences; civics and history; geography; arts; and health and fitness. Think analytically, logically, and creatively, and to integrate experience and knowledge to form reasoned judgments and solve problems. Understand the importance of work and how performance, effort, and decisions directly affect career and educational opportunities.

In order to help students achieve the above goals, the Auburn School District has worked in aligning its curriculum with the goals by creating grade level benchmarks.   To view the grade level benchmarks click below:
