Social Studies Standards Workgroup and Steering Committee,
First, let me thank you for the incredible work you are doing. Your
commitment to excellence is building an academic foundation that
provides students with the needed skills to succeed inside and
outside of the classroom. I'm truly honored to work side by side
with each of you.
Back in December, we began the process of opening applications,
selecting individuals to serve on the steering committee and
workgroups, and began engaging in the difficult yet rewarding
work of reviewing and revising standards. An essential part of this
process is receiving feedback from the public as our workgroups
continue to draft and revise. We have received a large amount of
feedback as a part of this undertaking.
Therefore, I am rescheduling the upcoming July 31st meeting of
the steering committee and setting it for Saturday, September
25th. This change will allow the workgroup members the time
they need to effectively incorporate feedback into the standards. I
believe adopting the correct set of standards is vastly more
important than meeting a predetermined timeline. Let's be clear:
our kids deserve better, more rigorous standards. Our shared future
in a democratic republic depends on us.
Thank you again for all your hard work. I am excited to see what
continued progress you make in the coming months.
