If you’re an Oklahoma English teacher, whether you’ve never had your own classroom before, or you’ve been teaching for decades, you’re in the same boat.

We have new standards, passed by our legislature near the end of the 2016 legislative session, and we’ll be scrambling to implement them this year.

For the record, I have heard from reliable sources that we’ll be testing on these standards at the end of this year, as well. So we need to make sure our curriculum is aligned.

With this news in mind, I have put together a page that links all in one place the resources you need to create and/or align your curriculum.
