Standards alone will not improve schools and raise student achievement, nor will
they narrow the achievement gap.

Standards That Stand Out
CC.1.2.11–12.G Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words in order to address a question or solve a problem.
CC.1.4.11–12.S Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research, applying grade-level reading standards for literature and literary nonfiction.
CC.1.4.11–12.I Distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims; develop claim(s) and counterclaims fairly and thoroughly, supplying the most relevant evidence for each while pointing out the strengths and limitations of both in a manner that anticipates the audience’s knowledge level, concerns, values, and possible biases.
Standards That Stand Out
CC.1.4.11–12.V Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.
CC.1.4.11–12.W Gather relevant information from multiple authoritative print and digital sources, using advanced searches effectively; assess the strengths and limitations of each source in terms of the task, purpose, and audience; integrate information into the text selectively to maintain the flow of ideas, avoiding plagiarism and overreliance on any one source and following a standard format for citation.

Responsible citizens use informatoin ethically and productively in a global society
Effective readers use appropriate strategies to construct meaning.
Critical thinkers actively and skillfully interpret, analyze, evaluate and synthesize information.
Active listeners make meaning from what they hear by questioning, reflecting, responding, and evaluating.
Effective speakers prepare and communicate messages to address the audience and purpose.
Librarians have the chance to lead the way toward meaningful transformation of our students’
education.
