Building Evidence-Based Arguments The program approaches literacy
through the development of knowledge, literacy skills, and academic
habits. Throughout the activities, students develop their literacy
along these three paths in an integrated, engaging, and empowering
way. Knowledge: The texts and topics students encounter in the
program have been carefully selected to expose them to rich and
varied ideas and perspectives of cultural significance. These texts
not only equip students with key ideas for participating
knowledgeably in the important discussions of our time, but also
contain the complexity of expression necessary for developing
college- and career-ready literacy skills. Literacy Skills: The
program articulates and targets instruction and assessment on
twenty CCSS-aligned literacy skills ranging from making inferences
to reflecting critically. Students focus on this set of twenty
skills throughout the year and program, continually applying them
in new and more sophisticated ways. Academic Habits: The program
articulates twelve academic habits for students to develop, apply,
and extend as they progress through the sequence of instruction.
Instructional notes allow teachers to introduce and discuss
academic habits such as preparing and completing tasks that are
essential to students success in the classroom. The program
materials include a comprehensive set of instructional sequences,
teacher notes, handouts, assessments, rubrics, and graphic
organizers designed to support students with a diversity of
educational experiences and needs. The integrated assessment
system, centered around the literacy skills and academic habits,
allows for the coherent evaluation of student literacy development
over the course of the year and vertically across all grade levels.
