Secondary Literacy Survey and Literacy Steering Committee Call-Out, Spring 2022

Spring 2022 Educator Literacy Survey
& Call-Out for Adolescent Literacy Committee Members

Please submit your response by May 13

The Indiana Departmentof Education (IDOE) requests your input regarding what resources the Teaching and Learning team can provide to help you improve your students' reading and writing skills. The survey is optional, but IDOE hopes you will participate. This will allow the team to tailor pedagogical areas in its work that Hoosier educators need most.

IDOE is also recruiting educator candidates for an Adolescent Literacy Steering Committee. Chosen members will help inform and advance upcoming adolescent literacy initiatives. The deadline for submissions is Friday, May 13. Your feedback will allow IDOE to form the committee promptly so that its members may consider important initiatives to assist struggling adolescent readers.

Please provide information about yourself below. IDOE is committed to assuring responses reflect a variety of teachers, grades, geographic regions, and school districts.

Your name and information will not be published or shared with anyone outside of IDOE.

Thank you for helping IDOE provide the most valuable and high-quality literacy support possible for Hoosier educators and students.
