Updated and new Learning Progressions available in Star Reading and Star Math for back-to-school 2024
In 2015, Renaissance was excited to announce that learning progressions were available for every state. These learning progressions are the backbone of Star Assessments, providing a teachable order of skills in context of your state’s standards, helping educators:
- Identify the early literacy, reading, and math skills students are ready to learn
- Plan instruction and practice that supports each student’s learning journey
- Prepare students for future success
Since 2015, we’ve continued evaluating and updating state-specific learning progressions, based on changes happening in each state. The following states have updated their standards, and in providing the most up-to-date information to help educators guide student learning and growth, these updated learning progressions will be reflected in the Star software.

A learning progression is the critical bridge that connects assessment, instruction, practice, and academic standards, helping educators establish a clear path forward for every student. Within the learning progression, Focus Skills™, unique to Renaissance, are also identified to help accelerate learning by focusing on the most critical skills.
