  3. Curriculum Redesign • Principles of universal design for learning are being infused into curriculum • Multiple Means of Representation • Multiple Means of Action and Expression • Multiple Means of Engagement • Common Core Standards (literacy and mathematical practices) are being infused into all content areas • ELA and mathematics content are being revised.

  4. Curriculum Redesign • All content areas are preparing for transition to a user-friendly online curriculum delivery system • Ability for the end user to customize the interface • Easy search functions • Easy to see what resources have been recently updated • Professional (social) networking features such as following other staff, commenting, profiles, announcements, etc.

  8. Close Analytic Reading and Citing Evidence Grade 6 Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Grade 7 Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Grade 8 Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

  9. Complex Text Grades 6 and 7 By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature and literary nonfiction in the grades 6–8 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range. Grade 8 By the end of the year, read and comprehendliterature and literary nonfiction at the high end of the grades 6–8 text complexity band independently and proficiently.
