The state of Indiana has established new academic standards in English/Language Arts. These "world-class" standards outline what a student should know and be able to do in each subject, at each grade level. This Teacher's Edition of the academic standards--an exact reprint of the standards guides for parents and students--provides educators and administrators with a complete set of Indiana's K-12 academic standards for English/Language Arts. The Teacher's Edition notes that while the standards set expectations for student learning, they do not prescribe how the standards should be taught. It is divided into the following sections: Kindergarten; 1st Grade; 2nd Grade; 3rd Grade; 4th Grade; 5th Grade; 6th Grade; 7th Grade; 8th Grade; 9th Grade; 10th Grade; 11th Grade; and 12th Grade.
