Please see Section 4.1 to zoom in on literacy.

This would need to be used in conjunction with a foundational skills resource (such as UFLI).

TonyaGilchrist — 2025-03-09 15:23:08 UTC

Notable aspect: You'll find diverse, high-quality culturally responsive and sustaining text selections.

This would need to be used in conjunction with a foundational skills resource (such as UFLI or the Phonics Units of Study).

TonyaGilchrist — 2025-03-09 15:23:18 UTC

Notable aspect: Almost all of these resources have been recently updated to be more concise and user-friendly for teachers to utilize. There is a focus on culturally responsive and sustaining literature as well as ways to support plurilingual learners. A Workshop approach protects time for students to live the learning and inquiry interplay (and for teachers to responsively teach).

This is a comprehensive, inquiry-rich curriculum for PreK-G2.

TonyaGilchrist — 2025-03-09 15:24:36 UTC

Notable aspect: You can use it for all of literacy as well as mathematics, science, social studies, social justice, and SEL. All areas are crosswalked with standards (CCSS, NGSS, C3, Learning for Justice Standards, and the Casel framework). The science and social studies sections embrace a PBL approach, and you can easily align them with units of inquiry.

This is a comprehensive, inquiry-rich literacy curriculum.

TonyaGilchrist — 2025-03-09 17:00:53 UTC

Notable aspect: Integrates reading, writing, and social-emotional learning while emphasizing collaborative discussion and inquiry. There is also a focus on supporting plurilingual learners. There is time protected for individualized daily reading. There is a social emotional focus built into the lesson plans. Time is also protected for handwriting in earlier grades.

How might you ebb and flow from content area literacy to disciplinary literacy?

TonyaGilchrist — 2025-03-20 08:27:53 UTC

One way you could examine the above items with a team:

TonyaGilchrist — 2025-03-20 08:28:15 UTC

Watch the above video and examine the above document. Discuss your thinking with a partner or two.

What affirms your thinking? (i.e. "Yes! This I believe, too!")
What extends your thinking? (i.e. "Ooo, that adds nuance and/or a new layer to my thinking...")
What sparks my thinking? (i.e. "That makes me wonder..." and/or "That makes me want to try...")

Record your group's thinking on chart paper, etc.
