Question Title

Thank you for participating in the public comment review of the Literacy: Reading-Language Arts (LRLA) Standards, Fourth Edition, developed by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).

The mission of the NBPTS is to establish and maintain rigorous, high standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do, and to provide a voluntary national certification system for teachers who meet those standards. This work is made possible through collaboration with educators and experts across the country, and we sincerely appreciate your time, expertise, and thoughtful feedback.

Feedback on Digital Supports
In addition to reviewing the LRLA Standards, we invite your feedback on several digital supports being considered for an online version of the standards. These features are intended to enhance clarity, usability, accessibility, and engagement for educators.

Please share whether the following supports would add value:

· Reflection Questions to encourage educator reflection and professional thinking
· Key Terms with concise explanations of important concepts
· "What This Means for Teachers" Callouts to highlight instructional implications and practical applications
· Audio Supports to improve accessibility and support multiple ways of engaging with the standards

We also welcome your suggestions for additional features that would strengthen the digital experience.
