The Majority of K–12 Teachers Are Expected to Address State English Language Arts (ELA) and Literacy Standards but Many May Need Additional Support to Do So

• At least three-quarters of K–12 teachers in each of the core subjects reported being expected to address state ELA/literacy standards in their instruction.
• ELA teachers in Common Core states reported less familiarity with their state ELA/literacy standards than ELA teachers in non-Common Core states.
• Professional development topics for which teachers reported highest needs included writing instruction and differentiation of instruction for students at different achievement levels.
• The majority of non-ELA teachers expected to address ELA/literacy standards felt not at all or only slightly prepared to do so, were not familiar enough with the standards to use them in lesson planning, and had a high need for professional development related to the standards.
