Pennoyer School curriculum and instruction and assessment are aligned to and with the Illinois Learning Standards. Recently the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has joined a national partnership to create revised standards for learning and teaching. These new standards are part of what is known as the "Common Core". As new information is released from the state board of education, we will post this information on the main Pennoyer website under "Departments and Curriculum".
