What are Standards?• Standards define what each student should know and do

in a core set of subjects. They give students a solid foundation in the basics and provide consistent targets for students, teachers, and parents.

• When we measure student achievement against the standards, we have the ability to see how well we are performing and how much we are improving.

AIMS Information• What is AIMS?

• AIMS (Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards) is a standards-based assessment administered in all Arizona schools in the areas of reading, writing, math and science

• Common Core

Proficiency Levels• Exceeds (E): Superior academic performance

• Excelling work indicates an in-depth understanding and exemplary display of the skills included in the Arizona Standards

display of the skills included in the Arizona standards

Proficiency Levels• Approaching (AP): Marginal academic performance

• Approaching work indicates a partial understanding and limited display of the skills included in the Arizona standards

Proficiency Level• Falls Far Below (FFB): Inadequate academic

performance• FFB work indicates little understanding and minimal display of the

skills included in the Arizona Standards.• There is a major need for additional instructional opportunities

and/or increased student academic commitment to achieve the proficient level.
