Comprehensive Standards
It is CUSD 201's vision to provide all our students with the opporutnity to be successful in meeting and surpassing the Illinois State Learning Standards.
The standards are a culmination of the Common Core English Language Arts and Mathematics Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and the College, Career and Civic Life (C3) Framework.
The District believes that improving upon the student's ability to read, write, collaborate, and problem solve will fully prepare him or her for a successful future.
- Common Core Standards.
- Common Core Standards central to the unit of study

The purpose of the curriculum map is to document every aspect of teaching and learning in a way to communicate, plan, and refine classroom instruction.
