This session dives into the timeline of new standards going into effect in 2026-27 (Economics, Personal Finance, Family & Consumer Sciences, and Career Education & Work), standards currently under review (Arts & Humanities and Health, Safety, & Physical Education), and ongoing preparations for the next standards to be reviewed (English Language Arts and Mathematics).
