For more information, see [Updating the Standards For Aware and Strive Only](/v1/docs/updating-new-learning-standards#update-the-standards-for-aware-and-strive-only). - If your district uses Forethought, you must update both the **Options**tab and the **Standards**tab. For more information, see [Updating the Standards for Forethought or Other Applications](/v1/docs/updating-new-learning-standards#update-the-standards-for-forethought-or-other-applications). ## **New and Updated Learning Standards** The following courses have new or updated standards for the 2025-2026 school year.
