You have provided very valuable information that I will be sharing with my district. My district will be focusing on building professional learning communities with emphasis on academic literacy, rigor/relevance, formative assessment, lesson design, and English language learners. I truly appreciate the different views you have expressed with regard to appropriate and relevant use of technology in supporting literacy among students, as well as the support that teachers will need from principals and policy makers. Thank you for sharing! :-)

Students should become creative and innovative, while working to become better communicators that demonstrate their ability to be responsible and use information in appropriate ways to express themselves.

Bilingual students can benefit from C.A.S.T. and teachers can help close the achievement gap and any language barriers that prevent future student learning.
