History-Social Science (HSS) Framework
On July 14, 2016 the SBE voted unanimously to approve the History-Social Science Framework. This endeavor began back in 2009 and work was suspended by SB 1540 (Hancock) and resumed in 2014 after completion of the mathematics and ELA/ELD frameworks.
New features of the History-Social Science Framework:
• Highlighted Features
o Diversity is an asset
o Inquiry based approach
o Access & Equity
o Professional learning
o Updated course descriptions
• New appendices on civic education and service learning, with examples of student activities throughout the course descriptions
• Information on financial literacy and voter education

• Updating to include references to Common Core for ELA/Literacy, CA ELD Standards, C3Framework
• Links between HSS and other subject areas, suggestions for teachers to work across disciplines
• More than twenty classroom examples, with alignment to HSS, CCSS, ELD
Next steps for History-Social Science Framework:
• Development of prepublication draft
• Professional editing by CDE Press
• Roll out plan and statewide launch events
• Implementation milestone: K–8 instructional materials adoption

Computer Science Standards
Computer Science Standards
The CDE
reviewed and submitted comments in the third review period for the K-12
Computer Science Framework Review that ended in June. The projected release
date of the framework is September 2016. For more information go to https://k12cs.org/.
On a related note the first meeting
regarding developing computer science
standards for California met
August 8. I am part of that standards development team and the first
opportunity for you to participate will be with Focus Groups gathering to
provide input regarding the essential knowledge and skills that should be
included in the California Computer Science Standards for kindergarten and
grades 1-12.
Apply for appointment to a Focus Group or register to attend a public comment session. Sessions are scheduled for mid to late November.

California Science Framework
There will be a presentation to the State Board of Education (SBE) at its meeting on September 8-9, 2016. This presentation will give great insight on the process and content of the CA Science Framework.
The SBE is scheduled to take action on the CA Science Framework at its November 2-3 meeting. Framework implementation activities are being planned and will launch following approval of the framework.
For the past three years the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS) Collaborative has hosted CA NGSS rollouts to help teachers and administrators see the standards in action and how they would look in their classrooms. The California NGSS Collaborative is currently planning for the next phase of the CA Science framework, scheduled to begin in spring 2017.
