Curriculum Frameworks & Family Guides
Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks
The Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks provide teachers, students and families with clear and shared expectations for what all students should know and be able to do at the end of each year. They represent a promise of equitable education by formalizing the expectation that all students in the Commonwealth have access to the same academic content, regardless of their zip code, background, or abilities.
