Organization: Center on Instruction
This “quick start” guide for principals of both middle and high schools from the Center on Instruction identifies three goals for secondary school literacy initiatives and provides elements of instruction required to meet these goals. It then outlines the critical elements of a school-level literacy action plan that schools implementing School Improvement Grants (SIG) and/or College and Career Ready Standards (including Common Core State Standards) should consider when planning for effective literacy instruction in middle and high school.
