The State Education Department (SED) is proud of its tradition of involving New York State teachers in a variety of curriculum guidance initiatives related to the seven learning standard areas. Over the years, thousands of teachers have worked with us to develop the New York State Learning Standards and Resource Guides with Core Curriculum. The expertise of diverse educators representing New York's diverse student population is essential in guiding this important work. Through our "Call for Expertise," we encourage you to become involved.
