New Resource: Literacy Instruction Standards & Content Area Practices Crosswalk

This document aims to provide teachers of all content areas with an understanding of how current domains of instructional practice found within the content areas align with the LIS. Since the alignment between the LIS and instructional practices in various content areas exists, all educators, regardless of their discipline, participate in literacy instruction.

 

Teachers should reference this document when planning content area and literacy instruction to ensure students are fully meeting the demands of the NCSCOS.

Join us for a webinar to discuss the critical need for supporting multilingual learners (ML) within Advanced Placement (AP) and Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) programs. Multilingual students bring unique perspectives and talents to our educational communities, yet they often face barriers in accessing advanced coursework. Join the AIG, ML/Title III, and School Counselor Teams for a special webinar on ML's academic growth and success in secondary schools. During the webinar, we will explore practical strategies and best practices aimed at fostering inclusion and success for MLs in AIG and AP programming.
