Instructions
Access to these specific standards within the Content-Area Standards for Educators are in three different formats:
Standards
The Standards are in the PDF format most commonly used by professional educators in higher education institutions and the P-12 schools.
Illinois Administrative Rules
The standards are effective as rules of the State Board of Education and are recorded in the Illinois Administrative Rules. Each content-area standard is linked to its specific section of the Illinois Administrative Rules.
