Physical Education and Music national standards are also referenced and aligned to state standards and curriculum programming.
All standards include college and career readiness skills and applications in addition to academic content. Disciplinary literacy and cross cutting topics that allow students to make interdisciplinary learning connections are embedded within content area standards. Additionally, the Information and Technology Literacy Standards are infused into all curricular areas. The Northland Pines School District also uses the Wisconsin Model Early Childhood Standards and the Essential Standards for Special Education.
