Preschool

Kindergarten

It is anticipated that these resources can be used for multiple purposes that include, but are not limited to assisting educators in:

becoming more familiar with the specific elements of the Iowa Academic Standards, including the level of rigor or Depth of Knowledge (DOK) called for in the standards
developing effective instruction and assessment practices
identifying students’ present levels of performance through back mapping of skills
monitoring the progress of students in response to targeted and intensive instruction as well as specially designed instruction for students receiving special education services and supports

These rubrics and learning progressions include the recent updates to the ELA and Mathematics standards. This website location will serve as the location for the most current copy. Previous to using these rubrics for any purpose, users are encouraged to first read the document entitled Iowa Academic Standards Rubrics – Supporting Document.
