Opportunity for Public Comment

DEED is seeking public review and comment on state content standards. We encourage parents, educators, public officials, and communities to take a few minutes to provide input on Alaska's current English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics standards. The ELA and Mathematics standards were adopted in 2012 in response to the need for a more rigorous set of standards for kindergarten through grade 12.

You can review all of the standards, the standards in each content area, or content standards by grade level. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
