These standards and benchmarks were developed by the Standards Development Working Group in Pohnpei, FSM between January 25 and February 3, 2006. The group consisted of representatives from the FSM Department of Health, Education and Social Services, each of the four state Departments of Education, and Pacific Resources for Education and Learning. BSSP revised and edited the standards and benchmarks prior to publication.
These materials were reviewed at State level and adopted by the FSM Association of Chief State School Officers (FACSSO) in March 2008.
