The Board of Regents has adopted Learning Standards in grades P-12 in the following areas:

The NYS Learning Standards are not a curriculum.  The New York State Education Department does not require, recommend, endorse, or advise on curriculum.  All curriculum and instructional decisions are made at the local level.  Districts and schools choose and/or develop curricula, curricular materials, and instruction to meet the individual needs of their students, and to support all students in gaining the skills and knowledge articulated in the NYS Learning Standards.
