State Board of Education Seeks Public Input on Math and English Language Arts Standards

The Arizona State Board of Education’s Academic Standards Development Committee will be holding statewide public hearings on Arizona’s Mathematics Standards and English Language Arts (ELA) Standards over the next month as part of the standards review process.

In March 2015, Governor Ducey tasked the State Board of Education with reviewing Arizona’s Math and ELA Standards in order to ensure that the standards are vetted, approved, and controlled by Arizona, and that they are the best for Arizona’s students.

In April 2015, the State Board of Education established the Arizona Academic Standards Development Committee to oversee the development of Arizona Mathematics Standards and Arizona ELA Standards.

County superintendents will be hosting meetings across the state to allow for feedback to the Standards Development Committee on the current academic standards. For more information on Arizona’s K-12 Mathematics and English Language Arts Standards, please visit: https://k12standards.az.gov/
