The Strategic Instruction Model (SIM)
Content Literacy Continuum (CLC)
focuses on helping secondary schools
develop and sustain comprehensive
and integrated literacy programs. This
school improvement process is led by a
SIM Implementation Team with extensive
experience in secondary literacy.
The team works with administrators,
teachers, and staff to develop and
implement a standards-based plan
to improve literacy and content area
learning tied to student performance
on state assessments.
SIM consists of a variety of research-based
interventions. Some of these
interventions focus on helping teachers
think about, adapt, and present
critical content in a "learner-friendly"
fashion. Some interventions focus
on helping students learn the skills
and strategies students need to learn
content.
