ABSTRACT
This guide, in English- and Spanish-language versions, shares
with parents information about the South Carolina Curriculum Standards. The
standards outline state requirements for children's learning and what
students across the state should be able to do in certain subjects. The guide
lists seven key reasons parents should be aware of the new curriculum
standards, and then presents a condensed version of the standards for
kindergarten in mathematics (number and operations, algebra, geometry,
measurement, and data analysis and probability); English/Language Arts
(reading, communication, writing, research); Science (inquiry and process
skills, life science, earth science, physical science); and Social Studies
(history: time, continuity and change; government/political science: power,
authority, and governance; geography: people, places, and environments;
economics: production, distribution and consumption). Listed after the
standards for each subject area are sample assessment questions for parents
to complete with their children, selected book titles for additional reading,
and Web site addresses for extended learning.

It's no longer a secret...
This guide shares important information about the South Carolina Curriculum Standards. These standards outline state
requirements for your child's learning program and what students across the state should be able to do in certain subjects.
A good educational system provides many tools that help children learn. Curriculum standards are useful for making sure:
o teachers know what is to be taught;
0 children know what is to be learned; and
0 parents and the public can determine how well the concepts are being learned.
The following pages provide information about the South Carolina Curriculum Standards for mathematics, English/
language arts, science and social studies for Kindergarten. The information can help you become familiar with what
your child is learning at school and may include activities to reinforce and support your child's learning, selected book
titles for additional reading, and Web site addresses for extended learning. This version does not include every standard
taught in Kindergarten. The complete South Carolina Curriculum Standards for each subject area can be found at
www.sctic.com or at www.myscschools.com.
The state-developed test, Palmetto Achievement Challenge Test (PACT), is based on the South Carolina Curriculum
Standards.
Sough CaOon© Cumicadum Sgandoonfis.
Here are seven key reasons parents should be in the know about the curriculum standards:
1. Standards set clear, high expectations for student achievement. Standards tell what students need to do in
order to progress through school on grade level.
2. Standards guide efforts to measure student achievement. Results of tests (PACT) on grade-level curriculum standards
show if students have learned and teachers have taught for mastery.
3. Standards promote educational equity for all. Instruction in every school in the state will be based on the same
curriculum standards.
ki)
4. Standards help parents determine if children in South Carolina are being taught the same subject content as children
across the nation. South Carolina Curriculum Standards have been compared with and matched to national standards
as well as standards of other states to make sure that they are challenging.
5. Standards inform parents about the academic expectations for their child. Standards give parents more specific
information for helping their child at home. Parents no longer have to guess the type of help their child needs to do
better in school.
6. Standards enable parents to participate more actively in parent/teacher conferences. Knowledge of the curriculum
eif5
standards helps parents understand more about what their child is learning and what they can do at each grade
level. Parents are able to have conversations with teachers about student progress in specific areas and
understand more completely the progress of their child.
7. Standards help parents see how the current grade level expectations are related to successive years' expectations.
Parents are able to see how their child's knowledge is growing from one year to the next.

Esta guia comparte information importante acerca de las Normas sobre el Plan de Estudios de Carolina del Sur.
Esas normas dan una idea respecto a los requerimientos estatales para el programa de aprendizaje de su hijo y
lo que los estudiantes en el estado deben poder hacer respecto a ciertos temas.

de Plan de Estudios son Utiles para asegurarse de que:

Las siguientes paginas suministran information acerca de las Normas de Plan de Estudios para Carolina del Sur
respecto a matematicas, Ingles/Artes del Lenguaje, ciencias y estudios sociales para Kindergarten. La infor-
macion puede ayudarlo a familiarizarse con lo que su hijo esta aprendiendo en la escuela y puede incluir activi-
dades para reforzar y respaldar el aprendizaje de su hijo, titulos de libros seleccionados para lectura adicional,
y direcciones de Sitios Web para mayor aprendizaje. Esta version no incluye todas las normas enseiiadas en
el
Kindergarten. Las normas completas de Plan de Estudios de Carolina del Sur para cada tema se pueden
encontrar en www.sctic.com o en www.myscschools.com.
La prueba desarrollada por el estado, Palmetto Achievement Challenge Test (PACT), se basa en las Normas de
Plan de Estudios de Carolina del Sur.
Mammas de Nun de Egudios de CuroDina deD Sur
Aca hay siete razones importantes por las cuales los padres deben tener conocimiento acerca de las Normas de
Plan de Estudios:
1. Las normas presentan expectativas claras, altas para el desempeno estudiantil. Las normas dicen lo que los
estudiantes necesitan hacer para progresar en (a escuela a nivel de curso.
2. Las normas guian los esfuerzos para medir el desemperio estudiantil. Los resultados de las pruebas (PACT)
sobre las Normas de Plan de Estudios respecto a nivel de curso muestran si los estudiantes -han aprendido y si
los profesores han ensehado de manera apropiada.
3. Las normas promueven imparcialidad educacional para todos. La enserianza en todas las escuelas en el esta-
do se basara en las mismas Normas de Plan de Estudios.
A. Los normas ayudan a los padres a determinar si los ninos en Carolina del Sur reciben ensenanza sobre los mismos
temas que los ninos en toda la nation. Las Normas de Plan de Estudios de Carolina del Sur han sido comparadas
con normas nacionales asi como con normas para otros estados para asegurarse de que son desafiantes.
Las normas informan a los padres acerca de las expectativas academicas para sus hijos. Las normas dan a los
padres information mas especifica para ayudar a sus hijos en casa. Los padres ya no tienen que adivinar el
tipo de ayuda que su hijos necesitan para desemperiarse bien en la escuela.
Ci45
6. Las normas permiten a los padres participar de manera mas activa en las conferencias padre/profesor. El
conocimiento de las Normas de Plan de Estudios ayuda a los padres a entender mas acerca de lo que sus
hijos aprenden y sobre lo que ellos pueden hacer en cada nivel de curso. Los padres pueden tener conversa-
ciones con los profesores acerca del progreso estudiantil en areas especificas y entender ram completamente
el progreso de sus hijos.
CA7. Las normas
ayudan a los padres a ver como se relacionan las expectativas actuales de nivel de curso respecto
el conocimiento de sus hijos crece de
a las expectativas de los arios posteriores. Los padres pueden ver como
