This deeper level of understanding and comprehension is communicated through a more sophisticated and independent level of applied literacy skills. In this book, leading educators envision the standards as a vehicle to provide more rigorous instruction and illustrate how teachers are uniquely qualified to determine the most effective methods for developing students’ skills and close the achievement gap.
