The California State Board of Education sets curriculum standards and frameworks in the areas of English-language arts, mathematics, science, history/social science, and visual and performing arts. These standards guide curriculum planning at the school district level. They identify what students learn at each grade level in major subject areas. They were developed by teachers, curriculum specialists, and administrators and faculty from colleges and universities.
