Monthly Standards Update
In May 2024, the NCDPI ELA Team began revision of the current 2017 ELA Standard Course of Study (SCOS). In an effort to keep stakeholders informed during the Revision Phase, the NCDPI ELA Team will provide monthly standards updates that contain the latest announcements and current news regarding the ELA SCOS.
These updates will be sent the first Friday of every month.
Current Phases for Standards:
*Please note: Because the Literacy Instruction Standards (LIS) have moved into the implementation phase (view the 2024-2025 timeline), information regarding the LIS will migrate to the general ELA listserv. Subscribe to our listserv to continue receiving LIS updates.
Standards Writing Team (SWT) to Complete Draft 1
The English Language Arts Standards Writing Team (SWT) convened on July 15-16, 2024 to begin revision of the current ELA NCSCOS. Four grade-band teams (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) reviewed the Data Review Committee (DRC) recommendations as well as research and other state standards to guide the revision of the current standards.
The SWT's work continued beyond these dates via virtual meetings and aims to release Draft 1 to the field for comment mid-to-late August.
Please read the English Language Arts SWT Scope of Work for additional details, which includes a tentative timeline for the 2024-2025 school year.
