Crosswalk of Instructional Practices
The Literacy Instruction Standards and Content Area Practices Resource (LIS) aims to provide teachers of all content areas and character education with an understanding of how current domains of instructional practice found within the content areas align with the LIS. Since the alignment between the LIS and instructional practices in various content areas exists, all educators, regardless of their discipline, participate in literacy instruction.
Teachers should reference this document when planning content area and literacy instruction to ensure students are fully meeting the demands of the NCSCOS.

FIRST ANNUAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE!
The Office of Academic Standards receives many requests from the field for standards-based professional development. We heard you and responded by providing PSUs with this Standards Institute. During the NCSCOS content area sessions, participants will be guided through all content area standards, from unpacking to instructional practices. These sessions aim to provide new and veteran teachers, coaches, and leaders a comprehensive understanding of the NCSCOS.

At the May 2024 meeting of the State Board of Education, changes to the Global Educator Digital Badge (GEDB) process were approved. In addition, new materials and information for the GEDB and the Global Ready designations for schools and districts have been released.

North Carolina's Vision for Comprehensive Arts Education
In today's globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina's 21st century education. (Senate Bill 66: Comprehensive Arts Education Task Force, 2010)
