These "Treasure Hunts" are designed to be used by administrative teams, or curriculum groups, or teams of teachers to just get "into" the standards. They will help you learn your way around the standards, what they include, how they are organized, and even how they compare and relate to our NH Curriculum Frameworks. They are designed to be used with copies of the standards (which can be downloaded from the previous page) so that sections can be highlighted or tabbed for reference later.
