The framework uses the language of The National Council of Teachers of English Writing Standards to establish a common language for writing as well as create a common vision of what 'good' writing looks like. Teachers and students can use the writing standards as a model to pinpoint areas of strength and weakness as they continue to focus on improving writing.
