(BOISE) – Members of the public interested in learning more about Idaho Content Standards for social  studies, arts and humanities will have the opportunity to listen to the review committees’ meetings on  Tuesday and Wednesday, December 13 and 14.  

Idaho Content Standards, reviewed for each subject area on a six-year rotating schedule, detail the  minimum knowledge a student is expected to know and be able to use at specific grade levels. School  districts across the state adopt curriculum to meet or exceed those content standards. The reviews are  conducted by committees of subject-area experts from across Idaho.  

You can listen to the review committees’ meetings on Zoom by calling (346) 248-7799 or (253) 215- 8782 then entering the meeting ID code.  

Social Studies K-12 Standards – 3 to 6 p.m. Pacific Time, Tuesday, meeting ID 962 6588 1751 

Arts and Humanities K-12 Standards – 3 to 6 p.m. Pacific Time, Wednesday, meeting ID 965 1817  4473 

Members of the standards review committees, nominated by stakeholder groups, include K-12 teachers  and university faculty members as well as legislators and representatives of the Idaho Historical Society,  Idaho Charter School Network, PTA, Junior Achievement and Indian Education.  

They will review the state’s existing standards for each grade level, study standards from other states  and review best practices before drafting new proposed standards. A draft of the new standards is  expected to be presented to the State Board of Education in 2023, followed by a public comment period  before the final proposed standards are submitted to the State Board and then to the Legislature in early  2024. Learn more about Idaho Content Standards and the standards review process on the State  Department of Education website.
