Content Connectors

In June of 2018, the Indiana State Board of Education approved the adoption of new Content Connectors. The 2018 Content Connectors for ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies are the result of a process designed with various stakeholders to plan, design and facilitate the review, revision and development of Indiana’s Alternate Standards (Content Connectors). Alternate academic standards are designed to measure the knowledge and skills of students with significant cognitive disabilities and are assessed with an alternate assessment. A systematic process was followed to ensure they are appropriately aligned to Indiana Academic Standards and readily available to teachers, parents, and students across the state. Alternate standards are necessary to ensure all students have access to grade level aligned content and to achieve educational accountability for all students.
