Create action Plans integrating Text Complexity Strategies that are research-based and adhere to best practices.
Layer 3 — EVALUATE text complexity strategy components to INTEGRATE into an action plan
IDENTIFY vocabulary and components to CONDUCT planning and evaluative workflows for text complexity strategies.
DESIGN a text complexity strategy action plan and its components to be used in the plan's completion and evaluation.
Example: PLC Teams COLLABORATE to EVALUATE information to DESIGN informed action plans to integrate text complexity strategies into classroom instruction.
A separate standard for text complexity in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) means that this feature of reading development is at the center of many conversations among educators. How this standard translates into classroom instruction is less clear.
Even with current texts, teachers can take some important actions to support their students on the staircase of text complexity - right now!
