Mathematics Framework Revision Timeline
Below is the timeline for the Revision of the Mathematics Framework for California Public Schools, K–12. Approved by the State Board of Education on May 8, 2019; revised on September 11, 2019, May 7, 2020, July 14, 2021, and November 3, 2021.This timeline will be updated if or when the SBE changes the schedule.
Updating state guidance for teachers on best practices for aligning instruction to California’s math standards remains a priority. However, rushing the development of the math curriculum framework runs counter to California’s commitment to a transparent process that follows a flexible schedule established at the discretion of the State Board of Education. The adaptable nature of the schedule allows for broad public participation and careful consideration of all potential impacts.
Cognizant of the current amount of feedback received on the latest draft, the framework’s posted “Schedule of Significant Events” will likely need adjusting. Therefore, it is anticipated that the July 2022 agenda item presented to the State Board will consist of a recommendation for a timeline change rather than presentation of the draft framework and a recommendation for adoption.
