II. Intent
The intent of the World Language Essential Standards is to support the North Carolina State Board of Education (SBE) guiding mission:
Every public school student will graduate from high school, globally competitive for work and postsecondary education and prepared for life in the 21 st Century.
The SBE’s first Future-Ready Students for the 21st Century goal states that, “every student excels in rigorous and relevant core curriculum that reflects what students need to know and demonstrate in a global 21st Century environment, including a mastery of languages, an appreciation of the arts, and competencies in the use of technology.” The SBE incorporated 17 future-ready skills necessary for every graduate in these goals, including multilingualism and being a knowledgeable global citizen. Thus, all students need to build proficiency in languages other than English and have wide-ranging knowledge of cultures from around the world.
III. Crosswalk Alignment of the 2004 Standard Course of Study to the 2010 Essential Standards
The following charts outline what students should know and be able to do as they progress through an articulated, proficiency-based world
