WIDA Wants to Hear from You

WIDA is conducting a survey to better understand how educators make sense of and implement the WIDA ELD Standards Framework, 2020 Edition. The survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete. At the end of the survey, there is an optional extension opportunity for educators who wish to further engage with WIDA on this topic. 

 

 Your participation in this study will lift your voice and inform future development of resources and professional learning at WIDA.

ELA Standard Course of Study (SCOS) Surveys

All-Stakeholder Surveys: Standard-by-Standard and General

State Board of Education policy specifies that the NC Department of Public Instruction will formally collect feedback on the current standards from educators, administrators, parents, students, institutions of higher education, business/industry representatives, national organizations, and other education agencies. The purpose of these surveys is to obtain input from educators and stakeholders familiar with the English Language Arts Standard Course of Study in order to inform revision decisions, which may include changes, clarifications, additions, deletions, or replacements to the current standards. 

The English Language Arts team in the Office of Academic Standards requests your thoughtful input and comments on the current academic standards for English Language Arts to inform the review and revision process.

 

Any individual who wishes to provide input on the English Language Arts SCOS may complete these surveys.  The surveys are estimated to take about 10-20 minutes to complete, depending on the survey and/or grade-band you choose. If you would like to give feedback on more than one grade-level, you can return and submit another survey.
