Instructional Shifts
Beginning the Process In Process Fully Implemented
Text Complexity: I strategically engage my students in a range of texts that grow in complexity.
Text-Based Answers: I engage my students in rich and rigorous conversations and writing tasks that require citing evidence from texts to support arguments and claims.
Academic Language: I explicitly address the language demands of complex texts.
 
College Career Ready Descriptors

Respond to the Varying Demands of Audience, Task, Purpose, and Discipline: My students adapt their communication, appreciate nuances, choose different types of evidence, and set and adjust purposes for reading, writing, speaking and listening, and language.
Comprehend as well as Critique: My students work diligently to understand precisely what an author or speaker is saying, but also questions an author’s or speaker’s assumptions.
Value Evidence: My students cite specific evidence when supporting their own points in writing and speaking, making their reasoning clear to the reader or listener, and constructively evaluate others’ use of evidence.
