CLC+at+Ross

CLC - Content Literacy Continuum  CLC is a framework with five levels that focuses on helping secondary schools develop and sustain comprehensive and integrated literacy programs. This school improvement process is led by a SIM implementation team with an extensive experience in secondary literacy. The team works with administrators, teachers, and staff to develop and implement a standards-based plan to improve literacy and content-area learning tied to student performance on state assessments. CLC helps schools look broadly across all courses and content areas to ensure the students receive consistent instruction using research based instructional routines and learning strategies. SIM - Strategic Instruction Model  SIM, developed by researchers at the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning, includes teacher - and student - focused interventions that enjance student learning. It promotes effective teaching and learning of the skills and strategies needed to ensure content literacy for the entire community. Based on research from a variety of fields and theoretical perspectives, it is designed to serve as a guide for secondary program development. SIM strives to help teachers make decisions about what is of greatest importance; what they can teach students to hlep them learn; and how to teach them well.
