September 2022 Newsletter

EdGate is in the process of reformatting the Colorado standards, per Colorado Department of Education.  We are removing the Academic Context and Connections items from the standards for all subjects.  This will result in a reduction of the number of standards for Colorado.  The remaining standards will be the evidence outcomes and extended evidence outcomes as listed in the Colorado standards documents.  This change will take effect September 2nd. 

EdGate supports Classworks and Gwinnett County with CASE standards

In support of interoperability and open standards, EdGate worked closely with Classworks to align their content to standards and provide that data in the IMS Global/1 EdTech CASE format. The resulting alignment data was used to develop an online Summer Enrichment and Acceleration (SEA) program for Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) in Georgia. The program helped to mitigate learning loss precipitated by the COVID pandemic. Why was this work important? Using the CASE universal identifiers for learning outcomes, skills and competencies makes it possible for any tool or application to share precise information between systems easily, internally or across the web. Not only was EdGate proud of the work that we did, Classworks and Gwinnett County were honored as Platinum 2022 learning Impact award winners. Congratulations to Classworks and Gwinnett County for making it easier for Gwinnett County to provide a standards-based learning experience for their students.

And by retro, we mean (sort of) retroactive.

EdGate's clients know that they can count on our standards experts to maintain the most up-to-date repository of educational standards in the world. And we don't take our job lightly! But our standards sleuths were left slightly baffled when we recently dug into the Maryland math standards.

See if you can follow this...

As of a few months ago, EdGate supplied the "Maryland College and Career Ready Curriculum Framework, 2015/2017 (Updated April 2019)" that we accessed from the Maryland DOE site. These standards include a grades 6-8 section from a 2011 adoption. The current Maryland math standards available through the Maryland DOE are now labeled as a 2010 version. They're certainly not completely different standards; in fact, there's a lot of overlap. In some cases, the older ones (2015/2017) go to a higher degree of specificity and in some cases the newer ones (2010) do, so they don't always 'end' on the same level. It's possible that the 2015/2017 set might have been considered a revision of the 2010 version, but it's also possible that the "2010" set isn't in and of itself a revision of the 2015/2017 version.

To further complicate matters, for years Maryland maintained two websites in parallel for their DOE standards and we did find differences between the standards on each site. The sites finally merged so that problem was solved.

Moral of the story? You don't need to hire a detective agency; EdGate is your source for the most up-to-date education standards.
