Want to Get Involved in ELA Standards Review?

Apply for the ELA Data Review Committee (DRC)! Applications Close November 30, 2023   DRC members review the data collected and compiled from Standard-by-Standard surveys, regional focus groups, and interviews, as well as research, policies, and legislation that pertain to English Language Arts (ELA).   *Note: The DRC analyzes the feedback and makes recommendations that help drive both the review and revision phases, so individuals chosen for the DRC cannot serve on the Standards Writing Team (SWT) that is convened during the revision phase.   Applications can be submitted through November 30, 2023. The ELA DRC will consist of a range of external stakeholders, including: K-12 educators, educational leaders, university professors, content professionals, experts from partner organizations, and community members. The DRC members will be chosen from across the state’s eight regions and represent varying perspectives and experiences regarding the current ELA Standard Course of Study.   Apply Today!

Provide Feedback on the Current ELA Standard Course of Study

All-Stakeholder Surveys: Standard-by-Standard and General; Close November 10, 2023

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.
