The Standards-Based Teaching and Learning Framework Task Force established a teaching and learning framework that serves all students. The priority was to create a common set of expectations explicitly identifying the roles of students, educators, administrators, and parents/guardians, knowing that the contributions from each of these groups would be integral to the future success of the framework. The Teaching and Learning Framework is divided into five dimensions:
