The Department’s subject matter standards are used to ensure students are being exposed to rigorous and age-appropriate benchmarks of learning. Tulaga are not curriculum, but expectations of what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Visit the Department’s Nofoaga A'oa'oga Design to learn more about curriculum design aligned to standards.
