DVS 015: Accelerated Learning Support

Basic Skills will students complete a CASAS pre- and post-test for math or reading as appropriate.

College and Career Readiness Standards (CCRS) for BEdA Program: Instruction is aligned to the following CCR Standards:

C-E in Reading based on the CCRS Anchors

• 1 (Read closely to determine what the test says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it),
• 2 (Determine central ideas or themes of a text and analyze their development; summarize the key supporting details and ideas),
• 3 (Analyze how and why individuals, events, and ideas develop and interact over the course of a text),
• 4 (Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone),

• 6 (Assess how point of view or purpose shapes the content and style of a text),
• 7 (Integrate and evaluate content presented in diverse media and formats, including visually and quantitatively, as well as in words),
• 8 (Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence),
• 9 (Analyze how two or more texts address similar themes or topics in order to build knowledge or to compare the approaches the authors take, and

C-E in Writing based on the CCRS Anchors

• 1 (Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence),
• 2 (Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas and information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis of content),
• 3 (Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details and well-structured event sequences),
• 4 (Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience),
• 5 (Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach),
• 6 (Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing and to interact and collaborate with others),
• 8 (Gather relevant information from multiple print and digital sources, assess the credibility and accuracy of each source, and integrate the information while avoiding plagiarism), and
• 9 (Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research).

C-E in Language based on the CCRS Anchors

• 1 (Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking),
• 2 (Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing,
• 3 (Apply knowledge of language to understand how language functions in different contexts, to make effective choices for meaning or style, and to comprehend more fully when reading or listening),
• 4 (Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases by using context clues, analyzing meaningful word parts, and consulting general and specializes reference materials, as appropriate),
• 5 (Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings, and
