Who created the ELA?

The English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum was not created by a single individual; rather, it has evolved over time through the contributions of educators, linguists, and scholars. Various organizations, such as the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and the International Reading Association (IRA), have played significant roles in shaping ELA standards and practices. The curriculum focuses on developing reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in students, reflecting a broad consensus on educational best practices.
