Provide curated collections of PSS(es) so that teachers can easily provide students with opportunities to practice.

Teachers should explicitly teach the process of deconstructing a PSS and then give students multiple opportunities to practice deconstructing a PSS. It is not necessary for students to complete reading, answering questions or writing a response for every practice.

Make sure that all teachers are aware of what PSS is and why it's important. (Teachers already know the importance, but might not know the official title for this section.)
Provide our own models/blown up examples to post in classrooms. Encourage teachers in other contents to teach and model the PSS for students.

We need to orient them to the purpose of the PSS and provide them with best practices of how to utilize context to better understand text.

Provide PD and coaching support on Next-Gen MCAS elements such as Purpose Setting Statements.

Modeling and practice reading and explaining the PSS. Implement activities around PSS as a daily do now.

Teachers should be encouraged to see connections between the effective/ineffect use of Purpose Setting Statements and student outcomes and comprehension levels.

Modeling several times for students first, then constantly reinforcing students' independent practice throughout the year. Additionally, providing highlighters or a coding system for students might help.

I would ask if they know if the students read the PSS. They likely provide context for other texts that they read for class, not necessarily related to MCAS, I would ask why they do it for those texts, but did not focus on the context provided for this task. I might also ask how the PSS might have helped to improve student understanding of the text.

Have students answer questions related to the PSS to emphasize the importance of reading the statement. Bigger picture, teachers would work with students on the importance of understanding context and building and activating prior knowledge before engaging with any print or non print text.

Teachers should model the utilization and hold students accountable for reading the Purpose Setting Statements of Next-Gen MCAS Resources as well as similar elements in all texts used during lessons.

The purpose is to provide students with context for the text they will be engaging with.  It can help to activate and/or build prior knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose is to establish background for what students will be reading. It is not simply an introduction, but rather it provides important/key information to help frame students' thinking about a specific genre, time period, etc. Students often skip or gloss over this information and, as a result, they may misread or misinterpret essential information in a text.
