The 2017 Curriculum Frameworks for ELA and for Math are Available in Final Form

The 2017 curriculum frameworks for English Language Arts and Literacy and for Mathematics are now available in their final form. The frameworks are designed to be used easily on computer screens; for pricing of printed copies, please contact the state bookstore. Please note that these documents have not changed substantively since the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education adopted them in March. Standards have been proofread for typographical errors, guidance material has been copyedited for clarity and consistency, and all content has been reformatted. Each framework is accompanied by a document highlighting the more substantive differences between the 2011 standards and the 2017 ones. Additional resources supporting implementation of the 2017 frameworks will be released throughout the 2017-2018 academic year.
