Work had already begun on the update and revision of the history-social science, science, health and mathematics frameworks. What’s happening to each of them?
Due to implementation of ABX4 2, further work on the frameworks for history-social science, science, health, and mathematics has been suspended. On July 17, 2009, the Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission (Curriculum Commission) approved the draft update of the History-Social Science Framework for California Public Schools for field review. The draft framework is posted on the CDE Standards, Curriculum Frameworks & Instructional Resources Division Web page, but the actual field review and online survey will not occur at this time. The State Board of Education’s appointment of members to the Curriculum Framework and Evaluation Criteria Committees (CFCCs) for the health and mathematics frameworks has been suspended. The previously scheduled meetings of the science, health, and mathematics CFCCs have been cancelled.
