What We Provide

Standards-Aligned Curriculum
Count on a comprehensive curriculum aligned to Ohio’s Learning Standards.
Designed by master teachers and nationally recognized literacy experts, our curriculum is built upon proven methods for developing students’ language and literacy skills. Our lessons include a range of close reading, academic writing, direct instruction, and additional skills practice lessons to meet the demands of Ohio’s Learning Standards.

Key Skills & Concepts
Teach foundational language and literacy skills.
Through direct instruction and self-guided lessons, students are introduced to and practice the underlying skills needed to master literacy. These lessons cover key concepts and vocabulary related to oral language, reading comprehension, organizational structures, argumentation, and more. Additionally, our professional learning provides the support to help all educators – regardless of subject area – teach literacy.

Rigorous Instruction
Build up strong readers, writers, and thinkers.
Our lessons — centered around engaging topics like personal identity and catalysts for change — walk students through the process of analyzing texts to construct cohesive academic writings. These differentiated lessons provide access to equitable educational opportunities for students at all levels.
Curriculum & Platform Features
Rigorous curriculum and easy-to-use tools for powering the best critical thinking instruction.
"The CERCA Framework allows for thoughtful learning that is as close to '100% engaged, 100% of the time' as I’ve seen. The topics of texts connect to students’ interests and provide endless opportunities for groupings and discussions that help students stay invested, even during long periods."
