Instructional Shifts in CCSS – ELA Standards in multiple disciplines

• Building Knowledge through Informational Text (“content rich”)

• Reading, Writing, Speaking draws from evidence in text (argumentation)

• Learning Disciplinary knowledge through engagement with texts rich in the complexity of content that uses academic vocabulary (language of the discipline)

Sustained improvement in literacy teaching and learning occurs when literacy is a shared responsibility, professional learning is rooted in

collaboration and inquiry, and organizational conditions sustain

ongoing learning for everyone.

of effective practices.

Collaborative inquiry needs systemic

support, a generous amount of which is

available through NCLE and related

networks.
