More Than Literacy: Rethinking What’s Possible for California’s Secondary Learners

What if Literacy Instruction Could Do More for California Learners?

California’s secondary classrooms bring unique opportunities and challenges: diverse language needs, wide-ranging literacy skills, and the expectation that every student can access complex, grade-level learning. Meeting those needs takes a curriculum designed around the realities of today’s learners and the demands on today’s educators.

Join Newsela for a first look at Threads & Themes, a comprehensive ELA/ELD curriculum built for California’s secondary learners in grades 6-12.

This webinar will showcase curriculum best practices shaped by leading experts in secondary literacy. You’ll see how research-informed instruction brings together authentic, knowledge-rich texts, explicit literacy instruction and point of use differentiation to help students build knowledge, strengthen skills and engage with grade-level content.

This webinar is recommended for Program 1 and Program 2 Adoption by California Curriculum Reviewers.
