Model Academic Standards - Relating the Academic Standards to All StudentsRelating the Academic Standards to All Students Parents and educators of students with disabilities, with limited English proficiency (LEP), and with accelerated needs may ask why academic standards are important for their students. Academic standards serve as a valuable basis for establishing meaningful goals as part of each student's developmental progress and demonstration of proficiency. The clarity of academic standards provides meaningful, concrete goals for the achievement of students with disabilities, LEP, and accelerated needs consistent with all other students. Academic standards may serve as the foundation for individualized programming decisions for students with disabilities, LEP, and accelerated needs. While the vast majority of students with disabilities and LEP should be expected to work toward and achieve these standards, accommodations and modifications to help these students reach the achievement goals will need to be individually identified and implemented. For students with disabilities, these decisions are made as part of their individualized education program (IEP) plans. Accelerated students may achieve well beyond the academic standards and move into advanced grade levels or into advanced coursework. Clearly, these academic standards are for all students including students with disabilities and with limited English proficiency. As our state assessments are aligned with these standards and school districts adopt, adapt, or develop their own standards and multiple measures for determining proficiencies of students, greater accountability for the progress of all students can be assured. In Wisconsin this means all students reaching their full individual potential, every school being accountable, every parent a welcomed partner, every community supportive, and no excuses.
