# Updating Learning Standards for Aware in Forethought

The management of learning standards available for local assessments in Aware is done in Forethought. (For customers without Forethought, please contact support@eduphoria.net for issues related to standards management in Aware.)

When new sets of learning standards need to be added to Aware, a district-level Forethought manager can do so using the following steps. (Aware managers who do not work in Forethought often should check with Forethought managers before doing anything to a course.)

**Step 1:**In Forethought’s **Manage** tab, select **Manage Learning Standards** and choose the course that needs updated standards in Aware.

**Step 2:**In the course's **Options** tab, check and uncheck the appropriate state courses from the list. Narrow down the list by typing in the search bar.

**Step 3:**Select **Import Standards from Courses** to copy all selected standards into Forethought’s **Standards** tab for lesson planning. For instance, if you are adding additional standards such as ELPS, be sure to de-select any other sets that already exist in the **Standards** tab and only import the ones you want (ELPS in this case).

**Step 4:**Once you have imported the selected standards, ensure you re-select any sets you want to become available for Aware online testing and click **Select Courses**.

**Step 5:**Once you are done with the standard selection for the course, select **Publish** so that others can see the changes you’ve made.

Remember that updating the standards for Aware (directions shown above) will not automatically update curriculum in the Forethought course. Refer to [Forethought for Curriculum Managers](/v1/docs/forethought-for-curriculum-managers) for information about updating curriculum.
