Standards Review Process

State law requires the standards in each content area to be reviewed every nine years. Content areas are reviewed based on a Standards Review Timeline approved by the State Board of Education, which also sets the Implementation Timeline, as seen in the updated WYCPS Review & Implementation Snapshot. The Standards Review Committee considers stakeholder input and follows the Wyoming Standards Design Criteria. The Standards Review Process usually takes 9-18 months to complete and adoption through rules promulgation takes another 4-6 months.
