The Colorado Academic Standards revision committees for the Arts and Social Studies have released draft recommendations for revision of the academic standards. The feedback window will be open until Jan. 1, 2022.
The State Board of Education is required to review and revise approximately one-third of the standards beginning in 2022 and an additional one-third every two years thereafter. The review and revision of all academic standards will be divided into three groups and each of the three groups will go through the following cycles:
- Review and Revision
- Transition
- Implementation
