| Abstract: | The Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in English Language Arts (ELA) represent the work of the ELA Standards Review Committee, who, during the 2019-2020 school year, reviewed the 2010 Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in English Language Arts, other states' recently revised standards, current academic research, K-12 instructional best practices and public feedback. This review process followed the guidelines in Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 120B.021, subdivision 4e. Minnesota Statutes, section 120B.021, requires that there be statements of standards and benchmarks. Anchor Standards are a summary description of student learning. The kindergarten through grade 12 benchmarks identify the "specific knowledge or skill that a student must master to complete part of an academic standard by the end of the grade level or grade band" (Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 120B.018). The standards and benchmarks should be aligned with the knowledge and skills needed for career and college readiness. The organization and structure of the standards communicates how ELA education is conceptualized for Minnesota students. The standards are organized into three strands: (1) Reading; (2) Writing; (3) Listening, Speaking, Viewing and Exchanging Ideas. Each anchor standard fits into a strand. There are 20 anchor standards that are consistent across kindergarten through grade 12. Each standard will have one to four benchmarks that are grade-level specific. The benchmarks are placed at the end of the grade level where mastery is expected with the recognition that a progression of learning experiences in earlier grades builds the foundation for mastery later on. [This official standards document contains the ELA standards revised in 2020 and put into rule effective July 3, 2023.] |
