Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), marylandpublicschools.org. Computer science is Maryland's K-12 Computer Science Standards, adapted from the CSTA 2017 K-12 Computer Science Standards and adopted by the Maryland State Board of Education in October 2018. Science is the Next Generation Science Standards, which Maryland adopted verbatim in 2013 and does not republish. Standard text is verbatim from the adopting agency's documents.
Standard text here is reproduced from those documents. We do not rewrite, renumber or reword a standard. Where a source is ambiguous or has been revised since we read it, the state’s document is the authority.
