Revised Learning Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts approved
The State Board of Education has approved revisions to Ohio’s Learning Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts proposed by the Ohio Department of Education based on recommendations of educators statewide. In many cases, the changes reflect instruction already taking place in Ohio’s classrooms. The clarifications in the revised standards will guide districts in reviewing their existing local curricula, instructional plans and resources to see what modifications, but not replacements, they might want to make. Learn more here.
Ohio Learning Standards Revisions
Ohio educators, many of whom engage daily with Ohio students, drove the process to make improvements to Ohio’s Learning Standards for Mathematics as part of a periodic review. In many cases, the changes reflect instruction already taking place in Ohio’s classrooms. The clarifications in the revised standards will guide districts in modifying, not replacing their existing local curriculum, instructional plans and materials. In addition to the information available now, we will be providing additional resources to help educators learn about, and begin using, the revised standards.

Ohio’s Learning Standards, which were first adopted in 2010, explain what skills and knowledge Ohio students in kindergarten through grade 12 need to know to succeed. In 2015-2016, educators statewide and the Ohio Department of Education began an updating process resulting in revised standards that the State Board of Education adopted in February 2017.
We encourage districts to learn about and begin teaching with the revised standards. The 2018-2019 Ohio’s State Tests will measure how students are progressing through the revised 2017 standards.

Special Note Regarding Accessibility
The Ohio Department of Education is dedicated to making information posted on these webpages accessible to all users, in accordance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. We will be making improvements to portable document format (PDF) documents so that mathematical formulas are more accessible. In the meantime, those needing assistance may contact (877) 644-6338.

Tell us what you think of updated websites
We are announcing the Learning in Ohio website to help educators more easily find useful information related to Ohio’s Learning Standards. The new website includes redesigned mathematics and English language arts sections, where users will find resources including suggested learning activities and side-by-side comparisons of the 2010 and the 2017 revised standards.
The Learning in Ohio website also describes how educators can use four major parts of Ohio’s education system – standards, model curricula, assessments and resources – to help students learn and succeed.
Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts here about the website through a short survey. It will remain open through April 5.
Suggested Timeline
for Transitioning to the Revised
2017 Ohio’s Learning Standards for Mathematics
During a year-long process, educators statewide assisted the Department in revising Ohio’s Learning Standards for Mathematics. To assist educators in preparing to use the revised standards, this document outlines suggested steps for spring 2017 and beyond. As mathematics documents referenced in the timeline become available, hyperlinks will be added to make those documents more easily accessible.
