ISBE's Weekly Message

April 22, 2025

The 2024 Illinois Report Card showed great news: Students in Grades 3-8 had achieved the highest ever proficiency rate for English language arts. Unfortunately, when it came to math, our data showed something was not adding up.

For several years, schools nationwide and in Illinois have been focused on literacy. Our acclaimed Illinois Comprehensive Literacy Plan, developed through the expertise of educators across the state, has supported the work of Illinois educators to strengthen literacy instruction, accompanied by professional learning, resources like the curriculum evaluation tool, and grant funding​ available to all districts and Regional Offices of Education. At the same time that we want to keep advancing evidence-based practices in literacy, we also need to dial up our focus on math.
