Wisconsin's Standards for English Language Arts are scheduled for review and possible revision beginning this summer. The process will start with a notice of intent to review and a public comment period through an online survey. The survey will be available in July.
Based on input from the survey, the State Superintendent’s Standards Review Council will provide the state superintendent with a recommendation regarding whether or not there is a perceived need to revise the current standards. If there is a recommendation to revise and the superintendent agrees, a standards writing committee will be convened in the fall. The rest of the standards revision process is outlined on the DPI Academic Standards web page.
A follow-up story will be published in DPI-ConnectEd when the survey becomes available along with guidance on how to participate. For ongoing updates and information, you can follow Wisconsin DPI Literacy on Twitter @WisDPILit.
Academic standards specify what students should know and be able to do in the classroom and serve as goals for teaching and learning. In Wisconsin, all state standards serve as a model. Locally elected school boards adopt academic standards in each subject area to best serve their local community.
