Reaching Every Student
The CCSS set high, clear and consistent expectations for all students. 
In order to ensure that all students can meet and exceed those 
expectations, Wisconsin educators provide flexible and fluid support 
based on student need. Each student brings a complex system of 
strengths and experiences to learning. One student may have gifts and 
talents in mathematics and need additional support to reach grade-
level standards in reading. A student may be learning English as a second 
language while remaining identified for gifted services in science. The 
following statements provide guidance for how to ensure that the CCSS 
provide the foundation for learning for every student in Wisconsin, 
regardless of their unique learning needs.
