Identify what students should know and be able to do

Learning standards explain the knowledge and skills Ohio students should know and be able to do in pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Ohio's Learning Standards instill life-long learning by providing essential knowledge and skills-qualities most sought by today's employers. By teaching our students to apply these skills to what they are learning in school, we can make sure they are on track to graduate from high school and enjoy success in college, careers and life.

Ohio measures the performance of its schools based on how well students are progressing in gaining the knowledge and skills within the learning standards. We do this partly by measuring student performance on annual state tests based on the standards.

ORC 3301.079(B)(3):​ All school districts, community schools, and STEM schools may utilize the state standards and the model curriculum.

Standards Revision

The State Board of Education has adopted learning standards in many areas: mathematics, English language arts, science, social studies, world languages, fine arts, technology, physical education and financial literacy. In 2016, the Ohio Department of Education started a process of updating all the standards over time.

Thus far, educators statewide helped the Department update the computer science, English language arts, financial literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, technology and world languages and cultures standards. Currently, we also are updating the fine arts standards. Learn more on the Standards Revision page.
