Content literacy is defined as the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process and understand information needed to evaluate, comprehend and apply content specific information.
7 Literacy Competencies They demonstrate independence. They build strong content knowledge. They respond to the varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline. They comprehend as well as critique. They value evidence. They use technology and digital media strategically and capably. They come to understand other perspectives and cultures
8 Standards for Mathematical Practice • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Making a commitment to a literacy Adolescent readers need support in seven specific areas: 1. access to a wide variety of reading material that appeals to their interests; 2. instruction that builds skills and the desire to read increasingly complex materials; 3. assessment that shows strengths as well as needs; 4. expert teachers who model and provide explicit instruction across the curriculum; 5. reading specialists who assist students having difficulty learning how to read; 6. teachers who understand the complexities of individual adolescent readers; and 7. homes and communities that support the needs of adolescent learners.
Definition Functional text is used for everyday information. It is called functional because it helps you function in your day-to-day life.

The SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) • SMARTER Balanced released a draft document outlining the content specifications that are intended to ensure that the assessment system accurately assesses the full range of the standards (including the Practice Standards). • Include a variety of question types: • selected response, • short constructed response, • extended constructed response, • technology enhanced, and • performance tasks
Assessing Levels of Expertise Level 1: Demonstrating basic procedural skills AND conceptual understanding. Level 2: Assessing knowledge in a context where their work on complex tasks is scaffolded. Level 3: Unscaffolded situations that call on substantial chains of reasoning.
