3- THE CBAL English language Arts Competency Model and Provisional Learning Progressions
“The Common Core State Standards offers a general roadmap of goals and sequences for the English language arts (ELA) curriculum. However, the Standards was not intended to be the sole source for guiding instruction, assessment, and professional development. Rather, one would want to elaborate on the Standards with sound, empirically based guidance from some 40 years of learning-sciences research. The goal of the CBALTM ELA Competency Model and Provisional Learning Progressions is to provide such an elaboration, one that we think can offer new insights into how best to design assessment, instruction, and professional development so that they have maximum positive impact.”
