Shared with us by a former IWT Faculty Associate! ✏️ 📋📚

This anonymous 10-minute survey (conducted by UT El Paso and Stony Brook U) collects information about literature instruction in grades 6-12 in the United States. ELA teachers, please help us assess much and what kinds of literature ELA you assign and how you select the texts you do! For those familiar with Arthur Applebee's 1989 landmark study on books taught in high school English courses, this will be our generation's update. In helping us to document current trends, we can collect a more accurate representation of the joys and challenges you face.
