Draft 2 of the Proposed 2023 K-12 Science Standards
The NCDPI K-12 Science team is excited to announce the release of the second draft of the proposed 2023 K-12 Science Standards.
The NC State Board of Education Standard Course of Study Manual specifies that the NC Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) will formally collect feedback from educators, administrators, parents, students, institutions of higher education, business/industry representatives, national organizations, and other education agencies on each draft of the revised K-12 Science Standards. The purpose of this survey is to obtain input from all stakeholders regarding the 2nd Draft of the proposed 2023 K-12 Science Standards and to inform any additional revisions, which may include changes, clarifications, additions, deletions, or replacements to the draft standards.
The survey will close at 11:59pm on Sunday, March 26, 2023. Writing the second draft of the proposed 2023 K-12 Science Standards followed the same process of data analysis, review by the DRC, and submission of a report to the SWT with recommendations based on feedback received on the first draft.
In the second draft, the SWT worked to address several themes directly related to the proposed standards that were noted in the most recent round of feedback. These include:
- Consistent use of language across strands and grade levels.
- Additional clarification of the content within objectives.
- Refinements to the placement of content within grades, grade bands, or courses.
- Modifying the Scientific and Engineering Practices based on specific content or concepts.
Thank you for participating in this survey. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and is an important part of the K-12 Science Standards revision process.
