Section 1.APPENDIX D   State

Goals for Learning

and Learning Standards

The State Goals for Learning are

broad statements of what students in kindergarten through grade 12 should know

and be able to do as a result of their public education.  The Illinois Learning

Standards provide more specific definition of the essential knowledge and

skills desired of Illinois students.  The State Assessment and the Illinois

Kindergarten Individual Development Survey are designed to measure students'

mastery of the Illinois Learning Standards, so that a clear connection will

emerge between students' learning and the goals and standards of the State of

Illinois.

SOCIAL SCIENCE

There are no State Goals for Learning in this area and the

standards applicable to individual grade levels shall be in effect.

Standards Beginning in the 2022-23 School Year.

The Social Science Standards consist of both inquiry

standards and disciplinary standards.  In implementing the Social Science

Standards, the inquiry standards should be used simultaneously with the

individual disciplinary standards to ensure both students' comprehension and application

of the knowledge and skills acquired.

In addition to the Social Science Standards, there are

State-mandated units of study that may apply to Social Science coursework or

curriculum. These mandates can be found in the School Code and are summarized

at https://www.isbe.net/Documents/IL-Mandated-Units-of-Study.pdf.

All standards are coded for ease of use and reference. The

code is keyed as follows:

Inquiry Standards

Working individually and

collaboratively, and using nonfiction and fiction, students will engage in

inquiry within the disciplines about important public issues, trends, and

events in social studies that are relevant to students' lives. These skills

should be applied while teaching and learning the disciplinary concepts for a

deeper understanding that allows students to take ownership of their learning.

Inquiry skills emphasize the

importance of inquiry and action (thinking and doing) in all of the social

science courses. Inquiry skills are important for all learners to apply to

their grade-level standards. These skills have been grade-banded for students

at kindergarten through second grade, third through fifth grades, sixth through

eighth grades, and ninth through twelfth grades.

COMPUTER

SCIENCE

Beginning in the 2022-23 school year, there are no State

Goals for Learning in this area and the standards set forth below shall apply.

"Computer Science" means the study of computers

and algorithms, including their principles, their hardware and software

designs, their implementation, and their impact on society. "Computer

Science" does not include the study of everyday uses of computers and

computer applications, such as keyboarding or accessing the Internet.

These standards are a modified version of the K-12 Computer

Science Framework, available at https://k12cs.org/, and introduce standards for

"Emerging Technologies" as a dynamic field that can contribute to many

future technologies. Examples of emerging technologies currently include, but

are not limited to, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, augmented

reality, and applications of robotics. Teachers and students are given freedom

to decide how to incorporate the future of computing into their classrooms.

Within each grade band standards, this domain consists of a general progression

of competencies that students should have across grade levels. These are

duplicated and presented in each grade band.

Computer Science Practices

"The seven core practices of

computer science describe the behaviors and ways of thinking that

computationally literate students use to fully engage in today's data-rich and

interconnected world. The practices naturally integrate with one another and

contain language that intentionally overlaps to illuminate the connections

among them. They are displayed in an order that suggests a process for

developing computational artifacts

r science describe the behaviors and ways of thinking that

computationally literate students use to fully engage in today's data-rich and

interconnected world. The practices naturally integrate with one another and

contain language that intentionally overlaps to illuminate the connections

among them. They are displayed in an order that suggests a process for

developing computational artifacts. This process is cyclical and can follow

many paths; in the framework, it begins with recognizing diverse users and

valuing others’ perspectives and ends with communicating the results to broad

audiences.

Unlike the core concepts, the

practices are not delineated by grade bands. Rather, the practices use a narrative

to describe how students should exhibit each practice with increasing

sophistication from kindergarten to Grade 12. In addition to describing the

progression, these narratives also provide some examples of the

interrelatedness of the practice statements and the ways in which these

statements build upon one another." (K-12 Computer Science Framework).

Computer science practices 8 and 9

were added to the seven core practices from the K-12 Computer Science Framework

in order to meet the needs of emerging and future technologies.

Practice 1 – Fostering an

inclusive computing culture.

Practice 2 – Collaborating around

computing.

Practice 3 − Recognizing and

defining computational problems.

Practice 4 − Developing and

using abstractions.

Practice 5 − Creating

Practice 6 − Testing and

Practice 7 − Communicating

Practice 8 − Analyzing the

effects of advancements in computing on one's society, economy, and culture.

Practice 9 − Reflecting on

SPANISH LANGUAGE ARTS

The Spanish Language Arts Standards consist of standards for

Reading; Writing; Speaking and Listening; Language; Range of Reading and Level

of Text Complexity. These standards correspond to the Illinois Language Arts

Standards. The Spanish language has specific features and nuances that do not

have a corresponding feature in English, and these unique features and nuances

are represented in the standards. The Spanish standard is not always a direct

translation of the English standard to reflect these features and nuances. In

some cases, there is not a corresponding English standard.
