南达科他州教育者反对拟议的数学标准修改,认为严格指导有风险。 South Dakota educators oppose proposed math standard changes, citing risks to rigorous instruction.

南达科他州数学教育者敦促州教育委员会保持目前的数学标准,警告拟议的改写过于简化,缺乏严格教学所需的细节。 South Dakota math educators urged the state Board of Education to keep current math standards, warning a proposed rewrite is overly simplified and lacks necessary detail for rigorous instruction. 教师和大学教授的证词强调了以下关切:受包括Archimedes框架在内的国家模式影响的新标准可能会损害教学效力。 Testimony from teachers and university professors highlighted concerns that the new standards, influenced by national models including the Archimedes framework, could undermine teaching effectiveness. 尽管国家官员以每年达到标准的学生中持续低数学熟练程度——44%——作为改变的理由,但教育工作者认为,在高绩效学校使用的现有标准提供了明确、一致的基础。 Despite state officials citing persistent low math proficiency—44% of students meeting standards annually—as justification for change, educators argue existing standards, used in high-performing schools, provide a clear, coherent foundation. 委员会还讨论了卫生教育的最新情况,包括护理员培训和提高对人口贩运的认识,并告诫不要扩大国家任务。 The board also discussed health education updates, including caregiver training and human trafficking awareness, with caution against expanding state mandates. 为Pierre的2月23日安排了一次后续公开评论会议。 A follow-up public comment session is set for Feb. 23 in Pierre.
