The North Dakota English Language Arts Content Standards (ELA) provide educational guidelines for school and district curriculum development. These standards develop learners' skills to understand complex and varying text independently, communicate through speaking and writing, and collaborate with others.
The North Dakota Academic Progression of Learning and Understanding of Students (ND A+) assessment system aligns with the North Dakota ELA content standards. This alignment exists between the North Dakota ELA content standards and the formative, interim, and summative assessments. The 2023 ELA standards will be measured on the ND A+ assessment beginning in the 2024-2025 school year.
