Reading Curriculum and Professional Development Report
The NDDPI has created guidelines to assist with interpreting and implementing NDCC 15.1-21-12.1. The department has collaborated closely with the North Dakota Regional Education Associations (NDREAs) on this work. Each REA is also a great resource for schools and districts.
