Massachusetts’ goal is to prepare all students for success after high school. Our college- and career-ready standards are at the core of this work. To support standards-based learning, we believe that every student should engage: with grade-appropriate text every day with meaningful real-world problems every day in scientific conversations using data every week in a school environment that supports social-emotional learning, health, and safety Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education 5
