State Standards
The History of The Idea of Education Standards
More than a century ago, the Committee of Ten, a working group of educators assembled to standardize the American high school curriculum, recommended college admissions requirements, including that students had some experience in a science laboratory. The committee's report influenced numerous programs and practices in the nation's schools. One example is especially relevant to national standards. The report was the impetus for the development of the Harvard Descriptive List, a description of experiments in physics to be used as part of the admission requirements for the college. Students applying to Harvard would be required to complete 40 experiments and a written test about the experiments and principles of physics.
The point is that the Harvard Descriptive List meets the definition of an educational standard, a combination of content and teaching standards. Since the late 1800s, numerous policies, generally in the form of committee reports, have described what are now referred to as educational standards, including standards for science. Technology and engineering were almost never mentioned. However, in recent decades, technology has often been (incorrectly) referred to as applied science. In the late 1980s, in the latter years of the "Sputnik era," a new stage of education emerged, which can be characterized as the "standards era." The likely origin of this era is the 1983 report of the National Commission on Excellence in Education, A Nation at Risk.
Two recommendations from that report set the stage for the development of educational standards: (I) strengthening the content of the core curriculum; and (2) raising expectations by using measurable standards. The report described course requirements in five core subjects-English, mathematics, science, social studies, and computer science for high school graduation. To state the obvious, neither technology nor engineering was among the core subjects. In 1989, then President George H.W. Bush and a group of governors (including Bill Clinton) met in Charlottesville, Virginia, for an Education Summit, the outcomes of which included National Education Goals, which led directly led to initiatives for voluntary national standards in each core subject. In the same year, 1989, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics published Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School ,Mathematics, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science published Science for All Americans. Both publications provided leadership for standards-based reform.
Still, as Paul DeHart Hurd argued, standards are fine, but they are not a reinvention (Hurd, 1999) The basic idea of standards-based reform was to establish clear, coherent, and challenging content as learning outcomes for K-12 education. The assumption was that voluntary national standards would be used by state education departments and local jurisdictions to select educational programs, instructional practices, and assessments that would help students meet the standards. An additional assumption was that undergraduate teacher education and professional development for classroom teachers would also be aligned with the standards. The basic idea may sound reasonable, but in reality it did not work as envisioned.
As a result of the many independent decisions about teacher preparation, textbooks, tests, and teaching, the proposed national standards had less influence than desired (NRC, 2002). This said, the standards for science (NRC, 1996) have had a positive influence on the educational system, especially on state standards and curriculum materials (DeBoer, 2006). Learning things is not limited to the scentific area. Instead it also has relations with some other things like speaking a language or using software, including Rosetta Stone German and Rosetta Stone Hebrew. If you have a creative mind, you will make all your own differences in the end!

Where could i find the California State Standards for 2nd grade in "kid friendly writing" they could understan?
Our school is required to write up each standard and every lesson in a kid friendly format? it would be extremely helpful if i could find these already produced! PLEASE HELP!!!!!
