SHIFT 2 KNOWLEDGE IN THE DISCIPLINES Literacy standards (6-12) are predicated on teachers in ELA, social studies, science and technical subjects using their content area expertise to help students meet the particular challenges of reading, writing, speaking, listening and language in their respective fields.

GOALS OF SHIFT 2 All content area teachers teach literacy in their discipline. (school-wide content area literacy) Students build content knowledge through reading texts and writing about what they read. All content area teachers teach discipline-specific reading and writing strategies vs. a generic list of strategies. Students read and write for multiple audiences and purposes across disciplines using text as a source of evidence. Students apply literacy skills to content area texts; including primary and secondary documents.
