Writing has to be intentionally taught and practiced in each classroom. ThinkCERCA has been an invaluable tool for us to align writing instruction and bring consistency to expectations and language when teaching and talking about writing.

In literacy, a product I like is ThinkCERCA. It meets kids where they are, again, personalized, and gets them engaged. It helps them with writing, and that’s an area we haven’t had nearly enough innovation. It challenges you with texts, forces you to identify things, and then looks at your own writing in terms of presenting a claim, evidence, and good reasoning. And again, that’s one that is showing good results for students.

ThinkCERCA helps us to differentiate for students in the classroom on their [readiness] level, but still, be working on the same standard. That’s pretty rich. I strongly feel that if we do well with our literacy skills, all our content performance will increase.
