Colorado Academic Standards Review and Revision Process

About the Standards Review and Revision Process

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 (22-7-1005(6) C.R.S.). The 2020-21 school year is the first year of implementation of the standards that were revised in 2018. One-third of the standards that were adopted in 2018 will begin the review and revision cycle beginning in the Fall of 2020. 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:

1. Review and Revision
2. Transition
3. Implementation

Each of these three cycles has steps that are outlined on the group's webpage.
