Science Implementation Feedback
The Colorado Department of Education is soliciting feedback on the Implementation Timeline for the 2020 Colorado Academic Standards for Science. Currently, the legislated timeline for districts to transition to the revised standards allows for two years, with full implementation to occur during the 2020-2021 school year. Some considerations for SCIENCE ONLY include:
- Keep science on the same implementation timeline as the other standards, OR
- Delay implementation to allow districts to prepare and for the state assessment system to adjust.
The survey for feedback will be open until Friday, December 14. The survey link is available at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YYLTQ2Y.
The State Board of Education approved revisions to the Colorado Academic Standards. For more information, see the Colorado Academic Standards Review and Revision page.
