2024 Annual Core Standards Survey
Each year, the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) administers an annual survey seeking feedback from educators, parents, students, and other interested community
members on Utah’s Core Standards. Core Standards serve as the basic knowledge, skills,
and competencies each student is expected to acquire or master as the student advances
through the public education system. The survey provides USBE with key insights into
potential need for revision to the current standards. You can review the current
core standards by visiting the Utah Core Standards page. The survey will be open for 30 days, from July 23 to August 23 and the results
are expected to be reported to the Standards and Assessment Committee on September
6, 2025. Thank you in advance for your engagement in this feedback process.
