Ryan, Deputy State Superintendent Jack P. Varsalona, Administrative Assistant Sidney B. Collison, Assistant State Superintendent Instructional Services Branch James L. Spartz, Assistant State Superintendent Administrative Services Branch FOREWORD The State Board of Education directed The Department to prepare program and compliance standards for equal educational opportunity in all required and various elective subject areas. The state instructional supervisors have been actively involved in drafting the standards and guidelines through advisory committee meetings and workshops with representatives from all school districts. During the summer workshops many elementary and secondary teachers participated. As a result of-their work and the work of others, the standards and guidelines were field tested during the 1984-85 school year. Teachers and administrators were asked to recommend any improvements or changes for inclusion in the final draft for State Board approval in 1985 for implementation in 1986. This effort provided each school the opportunity to review its existing curricula to determine if the standards were being addressed, in accordance with the equal educational opportunity guidelines, in both the provision of instruction and the expectancy of student peeormance. The standards are intended primarily to serve as a base for curricula, however, individual teachers can use the standards to review their grade level(s) and/or course(s) for clarity and appropriateness. Using the data obtained from the various reviews, the Department prepared final drafts of the program standards for approval by the State Board at its December, 1985 meeting. Full implementation of the standards will occur in September, 1986. The review and improvement process for these standards will be an ongoing activity with input and recomendat3ons from local advisory committees, teachers, administrators and Department personnel ( lit'll:d11-1,44. gPle William B.
