What does my student need to know?
Indiana's K-12 Academic Standards are widely recognized as among the best in the nation for clearly outlining what students should know and be able to do at each grade level and subject. How can I help?
Is your child struggling in school? Step in as soon as you think there's a problem – before your student falls too far behind. Start by talking to your child's teachers about getting extra help. Where can I find current education news?
The Indiana Department of Education offers free access to the latest news in K-12 education in a variety of formats, including e-newsletters, news releases, podcasts, videos and more. |
How's my local school doing?
The Indiana Department of Education provides a Web page for every Indiana school that includes contact information, state and federal accountability ratings, student demographics, performance data, teacher information, test results, high school graduation rates and more. How should my student prepare for the future?
Everyone needs some sort of education beyond high school. The only question is: which kind? Make sure you know your child's options and start taking the steps needed to make it happen. |
