Writing to be used by EdSteps

Intra­venous was recently con­tacted by a rep­re­sen­ta­tive from the Coun­cil of Chief State School Offi­cers about pub­lish­ing student’s writ­ten work from Intra­venous. Accord­ing to the Senior Pro­gram Asso­ciate of the Council,

“We rep­re­sent the state school super­in­ten­dents in all 50 states and the ter­ri­to­ries in issues of fed­eral pol­icy and national significance.

Specif­i­cally, I work on a project called EdSteps, [http://edsteps.org]. which was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foun­da­tion to col­lect sam­ples of authen­tic stu­dent work from Pre-K through post-secondary, rate it, and make it freely avail­able to edu­ca­tors and the pub­lic online.”

In order to use writ­ing sub­mit­ted to Intra­venous, EdSteps needs per­mis­sion to do so first. When sub­mit­ting an arti­cle to Intra­venous, a dis­claimer states that “you also give per­mis­sion for Intra­venous to pub­lish the arti­cle online”. We would like to notify our users that we will be giv­ing EdSteps per­mis­sion to use the writ­ing pub­lished on Intra­venous, but if you would like to opt-out and have your writ­ing only pub­lished on http://studentwriting.org and not by http://edsteps.org, then we ask that you please con­tact us so we can arrange it accordingly.
