Next Generation Learning Standards
2022-23 will be the first school year that the Next Generation Learning Standards will be fully implemented. These standards have taken into account feedback on the Common Core Learning standards from parents and educators across New York state. The updated standards include modifications to the language, vocabulary used and order of the standards.
