Feel like there’s not enough time to teach all of the content in your standards documents? Our analysts have identified a focused set of Critical Concepts for each K–12 grade level.

Research indicates that most standards documents articulate far more content than can be taught in the time available to K–12 teachers. In response, analysts at Marzano Research sought to identify, as objectively as possible, a focused set of Critical Concepts for each K–12 grade level in the content areas of English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and science.
