The standards review process for the Health Education & Physical Education, Visual & Performing Arts, and World Languages began in 2019 with a public comment period and a public hearing on the current Health Education, & Physical Education, Visual & Performing Arts, and World Languages Standards. After the public comment period, steering committees were convened who were charged with reviewing all submitted comments and with developing blueprints for the revision of the state standards in their assigned content area. Once the blueprints were created, writing teams, consisting of PK-12 teachers who represent Maine’s cultural and geographical diversity, assembled to draft the standards revisions.
Now, as part of this review process, the Maine Department of Education has submitted the revisions as part of a proposed rule change to Chapter 132. Details on each of the review processes can be found at the following links: Health Education & Physical Education Visual & Performing Arts World Languages
As required by law, a period of public comment opens today, October 27, 2021 through December 3, 2021. Written comments may be sent to Standards Review at sis.doe@maine.gov, or mailed to Beth Lambert, 23 SHS Station, Augusta, ME 04333 and received by midnight on December 3, 2021.
