Join the ELA Standards Review Committee!

During the 2019-20 school year, the Minnesota Department of Education will convene an English Language Arts (ELA) Standards Committee to review the current (2010) K-12 ELA standards. The standards are reviewed only once every 10 years, so it is important that we establish a highly qualified, diverse committee that understands best practices in ELA and the range of student needs across our state. Applications are now being accepted to serve on the committee. For more information, visit the ELA webpage.
