M-6 Reading Next to the ELA Common Core
Description
Andrés Henríquez, Program Officer, National Program, Carnegie Corporation of New York, New York, NY
The surge of interest in literacy, and in particular adolescent literacy, in the last several years is not a coincidence. The publication of Reading Next led to one of the most ambitious efforts taken on by a private philanthropy to put the issue in a policy and practice spotlight. Mr. Henríquez discusses how the effort led to grants and activities that eventually influenced the ELA Common Core State Standards.
