KSDE Introduces Writing Tenets: What You Need to Know 
Wednesday October 23, 2024 10:45am - 12:15pm CDT

The new KSDE Writing Tenets will assist Kansas teachers in providing quality writing instruction. Moreover, these tenets will support Kansas students in learning to write clearly, express themselves with intentionality, and communicate effectively with their targeted audience.
