Toolkit Overview

CCSSO’s Adolescent Literacy Toolkit was developed by the Council and multiple partners in response to a state-identified need to develop the skills, knowledge, and resources of content-area high school teachers to implement adolescent literacy best practices and strategies in their classrooms.

The toolkit includes resources for both states and teachers and has the following purposes:

  • To help teachers understand the value of integrating literacy best practices and instructional strategies into content-area instruction.
  • To provide teachers with useful resources to help them integrate literacy best practices and instructional strategies into content-area instruction.
  • To provide resources to states for literacy professional development conducted at the state level.
