Describes a study that integrates grammar into the teaching of writing. Provides a good review of other articles and titles that will help explain the research base for this approach.
The purpose of this document is to provide a research-based resource for media, policymakers, and teachers that acknowledges the complexities of reading as an ongoing, developmental process and addresses the needs of secondary (adolescent) readers and their teachers.
Assessment definitions and principles for literacy assessment adopted by the National Council of Teachers of English.
This document walks teachers through the questions to ask in preparing a writing task and helps them consider all aspects in creating a writing prompt.
This short and practitioner-based text offers a thoughtful discussion about challenges students encounter with reading as well as book lists of recommended texts. The author–a noted YA librarian and enthusiast–also includes practical strategies for helping students engage with texts.
This position statement from the National Council of Teachers of English defines the components of effective reading instruction and cites research to support these ideas. It provides a comprehensive overview of the teaching of reading in the 21st century as well as recommendations for teaching reading for teachers and guidelines for policy makers.
This microcredential assesses a teacher’s ability to reflect the nature of science and engineering in their classroom and use this to promote student learning.

In this English Journal article, Elizabeth Thackeray Nelson describes a writing unit she taught with 12th-grade students. She defines the learning goals and describes the range of writing strategies she used with her students throughout the writing process––from inquiry to drafting to revision to publication––of developing community action projects. This article may help teachers who would like to read about how a teacher builds a unit and integrates writing strategy instruction and reflection with student writers.

New York Trip: Standard 7.EE.3 Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.
This formative assessment exemplar was created by a team of Utah educators to be used as a resource in the classroom. It was reviewed for appropriateness by a Bias and Sensitivity/Special Education team and by state mathematics leaders. While no assessment is perfect, it is intended to be used as a formative tool that enables teachers to obtain evidence of student learning, identify assets and gaps in that learning, and adjust instruction for the two dimensions that are important for mathematical learning experiences (i.e., Standards for Mathematical Practice, Major Work of the Grade).
The focus of the Numbers 11 to 19 with Ten Frames intervention is using ten-frames to count and name numbers 11 to 19. It includes counting on from 10 and using number cards to show the two-digit total.
