Mod 13 Discussion: Aligning Curriculum

Achieve ELA criterion II stands out as the central standard for my curriculum objectives and student interactions. Reflecting key shifts of the standards.

These key shifts demand student instruction focus on text analysis for evidence collection and development of both text-dependent dialogue skills and evidence-based writing proficiency. Teachers who prioritize these educational shifts will align their instruction with rigorous standards and develop critical thinking and comprehension skills which lead to meaningful literacy and academic success for students at every grade level. These educational changes both prepare students to achieve demanding grade-level benchmarks and encourage evidence-based active learning methods.
