Abstract
This Occasional Paper uses historical and recent concerns about mathematics and science content standards to demonstrate conflict and tensions that surround the process of setting standards. The tension between flexible and specific standards is analyzed. No simple recipe will resolve differing viewpoints, but this Occasional Paper analyzes key actors and provides guidance for reaching consensus. While subject matter specialists are an important component of any resolution, this Occasional Paper stresses the multiple perspectives that must be considered.
