At the core of Weld RE-1 educational success lies a commitment to clearly defined and universally understood state standards. Standards-based learning offers a transformative approach that ensures every student achieves mastery in essential academic skills and knowledge. Our district has prioritized the most essential state standards and carefully mapped them out in a Year At A Glance (YAAG). Within this framework, priority standards are emphasized in bold, representing the critical competencies that every student must master. Supporting standards, presented in regular text, are bundled together to reinforce these key learning objectives. This strategic focus allows educators to concentrate on the most impactful areas of learning, ensuring students receive a comprehensive and targeted educational experience.

Implementing standards-based learning in our district's educational framework brings numerous benefits. It enhances transparency, providing students and families with a clear understanding of what is expected and how to achieve it. By categorizing standards into priority and supporting categories, our approach ensures that every student has a solid grasp of essential concepts while still exploring and developing a deeper understanding. This system facilitates targeted interventions and support, promoting continuous improvement and enabling both students and teachers to track progress towards specific learning goals.
