[CALIBK12] APA or MLA?

[Hilary Brover]

Melanie,
 
It is difficult enough to get middle school and high  school students to cite works correctly.  The chairs of all our academic and elective departments discussed this particular situation at length.  We came to the consensus that MLA would be our site standard for all courses and at all grade levels.  The feeling is that once a student understands the use and formatting of a citation they can more easily adapt to different styles as they continue their academic education.

Hello Everyone -- I'm wondering what style guide do you use in K-12
classrooms to teach citations? Specifically I am wondering if you use
APA for science classes.

Many thanks, Melanie Sellar
