The Standards do not dene the nature of advanced work for students who meet the Standards prior to the end of high school. For those students, advanced work in such areas as literature, composition, language, and journalism should be available. This work should provide the next logical step up from the college and career readiness baseline established here.

The Standards set grade-specic standards but do not dene the intervention methods or materials necessary to support students who are well below or well above grade-level expectations.
