¶ … Middle School Common Core Standards for English Language Arts
There is a growing consensus among middle school educators, including the National Education Association, that English language arts form the foundation for all other academic achievements. Consequently, it is not surprising that there has been a great deal of scholarship devoted to identifying optimal approaches to teaching English language arts over the years. One of the most influential outcomes of this process has been the development of Common Core Standards for English language arts that are adopted in whole or in part in 46 states and the District of Columbia today (Common Core state standards adoption, 2016). This paper reviews the relevant literature to provide the historical evolution of the teaching of English language arts in the United States and a discussion concerning recent changes and developments in English language arts of importance to students. In addition, a description of the current state of the subject matter is followed by an analysis of New Jersey's Common Core standards. A discussion concerning the part played by funding/politics/history in the creation and implementation of curriculum in English language arts and how English language arts relate to other aspects of the curriculum are followed by an assessment of possible future development in English language arts.

As the United States continues to see an increase in multi-ethnic, multinational populations, the children of immigrants that bring diverse cultures and ethnicities to American shores are represented in the classroom.

Therefore, the first step in creating and maintaining a successful charter school will be to plan the vision with a common goals meeting and invite all stakeholders to the meeting in accordance with best practices ("Shared Vision and Common Goals," n.d.).
