Standards Based Education Approach

The Marysville School District’s approach to the development of the curricula is a process known as standards-based education. The following philosophical precepts guide this philosophy:

1. All students can achieve excellence.

2. Success enhances self-efficacy; self-efficacy promotes learning and behavior that reflects sound values.

3. Clearly stated objectives and goals, strong belief that students can succeed, and ongoing authentic assessment maximizes student learning conditions.


4. Real-world experiences presented at the appropriate level of challenge ensure maximum student achievement.
