State Information Request: Processes for Creating and Evaluating State Education Standards

A state board member asked about state processes for developing education standards, including processes for gathering public input, the content areas and number of standards found within those content areas in other states, and examples of states currently working to develop interdisciplinary standards. Our response includes an overview, including a state-by-state breakdown of process and standards adoption. To provide timely assistance to our constituents, State Information Requests are typically completed in 48 hours. They reflect an issue scan versus a comprehensive analysis.
