Colorado Academic Standards Science Utilization Change (June 2022)

[#1]

As a result of review, we are altering our capture of the Colorado Essential Skill and Science and Engineering Practice (SEP) statements in Colorado > Academic Standards > Science (2018 r2020). The frontmatter of the source file explains that the statements under the “Academic Context and Connections” header are intended to support and provide context to the Grade Level Expectations (GLEs). Since that is where the SEP statements fall, we are changing the utilization of them from alignable to supporting clarifications.

How will this change impact the standards data?

The utilization for the Colorado Essential Skill and Science and Engineering Practice statements will change from alignable to supporting, clarification.

How will this change impact alignments?

Any Science and Engineering Practice statements present in each grade level will no longer appear in the alignment system or in the API as alignable level statements. 

Any existing alignments between assets and standards will not change, but they will not be visible in the alignment system.

When is this change taking effect?

These standards were changed on June 27, 2022.

What action must I take?

If appropriate, you may want to update your version of the standards to reflect these changes.
