The NDDPI is working with a committee of content specialists to write the Financial Literacy Content Standards. As part of this process, a statewide committee consisting of North Dakota community leaders, business, industry, and labor representatives, and citizens of North Dakota will meet to review the drafts of the content standards and prepare comments for the writing committee. These comments will be shared with the writing committee as they continue to write the Financial Literacy Content Standards.

Content standards are concise, written descriptions outlining the knowledge and skills students are expected to know and do at a specific stage of their education and illustrate what students have learned upon completion of a grade level or grade span. The academic standards do not describe particular teaching practices, curriculum, or assessment methods.
