These briefs are designed to aid New York State educators in implementing the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards; complement and support the Next Generation Standards and related documents; offer an expansion and deeper explanation of concepts embedded in the Standards, Introduction, and Preface; and provide additional guidance to the field particularly in settings serving linguistically diverse learners. Additionally, these resources provide an overview of how the hallmarks of advanced literacies can be used to support student learning and literacy. Originally published on EngageNY.
