Strand H, Session 1: The Content Literacy Continuum: Providing Tiered Literacy Supports in Secondary Schools
|
| Abstract: |
This session will describe the Content Literacy Continuum (CLC), a framework for tiered supports in middle and high school settings designed to meet the varying literacy needs of adolescent learners. CLC creates a range of supports by engaging all subject matter, reading, and special education teachers to provide an array of interventions that vary in intensity, but are integrated across settings within a school. Implementation stages and strategies will be described, and expected student outcomes will be discussed. (11829)

The Portland School District is a recipient of a Striving Readers Demonstration Grant (2006-2011).

They will share their journey, challenges, and successes of the past 3 years. (11832)
