Curriculum and Content Standards

Common Core State Standards

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) were developed through a state-led initiative to establish consistent and clear education standards for English language arts and mathematics that would better prepare students for success in college, career, and the competitive global economy. The California State Board of Education (SBE) adopted the standards on August 2, 2010.

“Side-by-Side” documents:  The following were developed by grade level teams across Davis Joint Unified School District to determine “essential” Common Core Standards at each grade level.  As our work on the Common Core continues, these documents will evolve.

• "Side-by-Side" Grade K-1                               
• "Side-by-Side" Grade 2 
• "Side-by-Side" Grade 3
• "Side-by-Side" Grade 4
• "Side-by-Side" Grade 5
• "CCSS for ELA" Grade 6

California Content Standards

Content standards were designed to encourage the highest achievement of every student, by defining the knowledge, concepts, and skills that students should acquire at each grade level.

California Curriculum Frameworks

Frameworks are blueprints for implementing the content standards adopted by the California State Board of Education and are developed by the Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission.
