Editorial team improves accuracy across standards collection

The Academic Benchmarks Editorial Team has kept our standards collection accurate and up to date. As a part of this continual improvement, we recently implemented some important changes to standards documents. Those changes are described below.

1. Document renumbering--Several document were recently renumbered. They were renumbered to match recent updates states had made. The renumbered documents are as follows:

• Kentucky Program of Studies - All Subjects - 2006
• Oregon Standards - All Subjects - Various Years
• Utah Core Curriculum - Social Studies - 2000

2. Document restructuring--In order to better mimic the representation presented by the state, some documents were restructured. In the restructuring, no data was lost; however, some levels of the hierarchy were condensed, resulting in some topics (GUIDs) becoming obsolete. The restructured documents are as follows:

• Alaska Grade Level Expectations - Mathematics 2005
• Alaska Grade Level Expectations - Reading 2005
• Alaska Grade Level Expectations - Writing 2005
• California Content Standards - Science 1998
• Connecticut Curriculum Frameworks - Science 2005
• Georgia Performance Standards - Science 2004
• Indiana Academic Standards - Science 2000
• Massachusetts Curriculum Framework - Science and Technology 2001 and 2006
• Missouri Grade Level Expectations - Science 2005
• New York Core Curriculum - Science 1999
• Ohio Academic Content Standards - Science 2003
