The current CSTA K-12 Standards were published in 2017, and much has changed since then regarding research, implementation, technological advances, and standards adoption by states. As such, CSTA has begun the process of revising the CSTA K-12 Standards with an anticipated launch of updated standards in summer 2026. Community involvement in this process is essential to its success, and CSTA is currently accepting applications from individuals interested in serving as writers, advisors, and/or reviewers during the revision process.
Responsibilities will formally begin in September 2024. Educators that are selected for the writing team will receive a stipend for their full and active participation. Visit the CSTA K-12 Standards Revision webpage for additional information and to apply. Those interested in being involved should complete the application by Monday, June 17. Applicants will be notified of selection status by Friday, July 5.
