NCDPI's Office of Academic Standards serves as the authoritative source for the review, revision, and support for the implementation of state content standards in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study (SCOS).
During the 2022 - 2023 school year, three content areas (Arts Education, Guidance, and World Languages) will be in the review phase as outlined on pages 11 - 17 in the North Carolina SCOS Internal Procedures Manual.
Please see the multiple year timeline below as an overview about how we will be updating the North Carolina World Language Essential Standards. Then be sure to read about the launch of this work starting in September 2022 and find out how you can sign up for the NCDPI listservs to stay informed and give feedback throughout the process.
