Colorado Begins Updating Academic Standards

For the first time in more than a decade, Colorado Department of Education (CDE) is revising its academic standards for grades K-12. A Denver Post article reports that CDE made drafts available Thursday of its revised standards for mathematics; music; reading, writing, and communicating; and science. It is probable that these new standards will be incorporated into the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP).

You can find these drafts and other relevant information on the CDE website:

• The latest drafts of the revised Colorado Academic Standards.
• Current Colorado K-12 Academic Standards.
• Information about the CSAP
• CDE education reform initiatives
