By January 2015, after 4 meetings throughout this calendar year, the ELA Review Committee hopes to have a process in place for principals and teachers to access on-line at our website with the following in place:
- Links to the ELA Standards
- Archdiocesan K-12 view of the ELA standards
- “Glossary of Terms” inherent in the ELA Standards
- Links to “Committee Recommended Resources” related to terms
- Committee developed “ELA Common Mid-Year Assessments with Rubrics and Anchor Papers”
- Textbook recommendations
- A Review Protocol for textbook adoptions
It is important to define at this point what the responsibility is for the Office for Catholic Schools, and what remains the responsibility of each the individual Catholic Schools.

As schools begin their self-studies for the accreditation process, this work will be very helpful. I thank the committee members for their willingness to dive into this important work!
Please note that the Educational Leadership Summer Session titled, “Delving Further into the ELA Common Core Standards with Diverse Learners in Mind” fits beautifully within the framework of this curricular review! Exciting times!
