The Illinois Learning Standards establish expectations for what all students should know and be able to do in each subject at each grade. The standards emphasize depth over breadth, building upon key concepts as students advance. The standards promote student-driven learning and the application of knowledge to real world situations to help students develop deep conceptual understanding. Intentionally rigorous, the Illinois Learning Standards prepare students for the challenges of college and career.
The Standards & Instruction team is excited to share information about a new tool called the Illinois Learning Compass.
It is designed to share what all students should know and be able to do by the end of each school year. Educators, students, families, and others can use the Illinois Learning Compass to explore the Illinois Learning Standards. It will allow for searching and filtering -- even enabling the extraction of information to an Excel document.
Please fill out an Illinois Learning Compass Feedback Form or email the team at standards@isbe.net if you want to provide feedback or ask questions.
A recorded webinar has been created and housed on the website to demonstrate how to utilize this tool.
