Draft 2 of the Proposed ELA SCOS General Survey
Survey Closes April 18, 2025
State Board of Education policy specifies that the NC Department of Public Instruction will formally collect feedback on the draft revised standards from educators, administrators, parents, students, institutions of higher education, business/industry representatives, and other education agencies.
To support creation of Draft 2 of the Proposed 2025 ELA Standard Course of Study, the ELA Data Review Committee (DRC) completed a formal report summarizing the data and trends from Draft 1 standard-by-standard surveys. The report was provided to the ELA Standards Writing Team (SWT) for Draft 2.
The purpose of the Draft 2 General Survey is to obtain input from educators and stakeholders familiar with the English Language Arts (ELA) Standard Course of Study in order to inform further revision decisions. As such, the ELA team requests your thoughtful input and comments on the draft revised academic standards for ELA to inform the revision process.
To support completion of the general survey, a Survey Companion Document has been created to explain in detail key changes and updates made within Draft 2 of the Proposed 2025 ELA SCOS. Based on data compiled and analyzed from standard-by-standard surveys for Draft 1, the ELA DRC made the following suggestions for revisions:
- Provide more specificity within the standards and objectives and clarify terminology where possible;
- Create supporting resources to clarify expectations and provide guidance, especially for fluency with secondary grades;
- Confirm developmental and grade-appropriateness of skills;
- Confirm vertical progression of skills across grade-bands;
- Clarify mentioning of the Holocaust/genocide in secondary grade-bands; and
- Revisit grade banding for high school.
The Survey Companion Document provides context for revisions made to Drafts 1 and 2 of the Proposed 2025 ELA SCOS.
