Standards Review

The North Dakota Content Standards are reviewed every five to seven years. The review process begins with the selection of the standards for review. The review is conducted by a team of North Dakota educators who review the standards within the discipline, considering advances within that disciplinary area, national standards, and standards from states like North Dakota. The drafts of the revised standards are published and open to public comment, which the reviewers use to make further revisions. The drafts are also reviewed by a team of reviewers consisting of North Dakota stakeholders, including parents, businesspersons, and other members of the North Dakota community.
