Social Studies Standards Revision
Nebraska Revised Statute 79-760.01 requires the Nebraska State Board of Education to “adopt measurable academic content standards for at least the grade levels required for statewide assessment.” Those standards shall cover the subject areas of reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies, and the State Board of Education shall develop a plan to review and update standards for those subject areas every seven years.
Standards Revision Timeline
A Content Area Standards Revision Timeline has been developed and includes a tentative timeline for the review and revision of all content area standards. For more information on the revision process, please visit the NDE Content Area Standards page.
The Nebraska Department of Education will begin the revision of the 2019 Nebraska Social Studies Standards in February of 2025 with anticipated adoption in the Fall of 2026.
