The Iowa Department of Education Science Standards Revision Team is charged with revising the current science standards. The team will meet biweekly for about 10 weeks starting in October.
State standards across all subject areas are reviewed regularly to ensure the content is current and aligns with best practices.
Following this work the Department will seek public input on the proposed changes. A final standards proposal will go before the State Board of Education for consideration. If adopted, the revised science standards will be required for school districts. In all, the revision process can take up to 6 months.
