Establishing review committees composed of public school teachers and academics from private and public colleges/universities in Massachusetts to develop the curriculum frameworks, which will be copyrighted and owned by the Department of Education. 3. Creating three separate review committees, one each for math, science/technology, and English, with members appointed by the Governor from Massachusetts research universities to warrant that the frameworks are equivalent to the standards of the most educationally advanced nations. 4.
