of Vermont's Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities is to improve student
learning. The standards will be used in three ways:
1. To provide a structure
from which standards-based district, school, and classroom curriculum can be developed,
organized, implemented, and assessed.
2. To provide the
basis for the development of a state, local, and classroom comprehensive assessment
3. To make explicit
what may be included in statewide assessments of student learning.
