Core Standards & Power Standards
Power standards are standards that have been chosen as a primary focus in a specific class/content area based on 3 criteria:
Endurance - When the standard represents learning that goes beyond one course or grade level and is representative of a concept or skill that is important in life, it has endurance.
Leverage - When the standard represents learning that is applied both within the content area and in other content areas, it has leverage.
Readiness - When the standard represents learning that is essential for success in a new unit, course of study or grade level, it has readiness.
More information about standards can be found on the MPSD website.
