NEW! Ohio’s Learning Standards - Extended with Learning Progressions. Last newsletter we shared the new standards, since then OCALI has released the Learning Progressions which now accompany the standards.

A learning progression is a sequence of skills linked to a learning target that build base skills and engagement as learners make progress toward mastery of the standard or learning target.

These LP's are a companion to Ohio’s New Learning Standards and OLS-E and help develop teacher and learner clarity about embedded skills within each standard. Click the link below to access the standards with Learning Progressions.
