#ELAOK English Teachers: Your Input Is Needed

 

 

 

 

 

The English/Language Arts (ELA) Standards Writing Committee has invited all teachers, administrators, parents, and community members to provide feedback on the current standards through a survey.

The purpose of the survey is to provide feedback on the current Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS) standards for ELA, to the Writing Committee in the development of new ELA academic standards for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12.

Fellow middle school teachers, you can download a copy of the Grades 5-8 PASS Vertical Progression Guide for ELA, which I was honored to help develop last summer, below:
