  • the Common Core Standards are intended to focus on fewer topics and address them in greater depth

    "Time to Act" - Carnegie Reports on adolescent literacy (Gr. 4-13). Personally, I think it's one of the best reports that I have seen on adolescent literacy. You can request one copy of "Time to Act" just by emailing the program director. I have reviewed this specific report and feel that it is very powerful--up to date research, concise, and well organized. The other reports in the link you will need to download as they will not send you hard copies. Excellent resource for teacher leaders and administrators; Time to Act: An Agenda for Advancing Adolescent Literacy for College and Career Success pinpoints adolescent literacy as a cornerstone of the current education reform movement, upon which efforts such as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act must be built.
