Board of Regents Acts to Conditionally Approve First Ever Learning Standards for Computer Science and Digital Fluency
The Board of the Regents today acted to conditionally approve °ÄÃÅÌØÂëÍõ’s first ever Learning Standards for Computer Science and Digital Fluency. The State Education Department conducted a collaborative process over a fifteen-month period that included a group of statewide experts on computer science and educational technology to assist in creating computer science and digital fluency standards that best meet the needs of students across °ÄÃÅÌØÂëÍõ. Today, the standards were conditionally approved by the Board of Regents P-12 Committee. The additional time will allow for the Department to engage with early learning experts to ensure the K-2 standards are developmentally appropriate. The standards will be returned to the Board later this year for final adoption.
