[|TRAILS: Tool for Real-time Assessment of Information Literacy Skills] to assess information literacy skills/Common Core skills http://www.**trails**-9.org/ TRAILS is a knowledge assessment with multiple-choice questions targeting a variety of information literacy skills based on 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th grade standards. This Web-based system was developed to provide an easily accessible and flexible tool for school librarians and teachers to identify strengths and weaknesses in the information-seeking skills of their students. **There is no charge for using TRAILS.**

"The English Language Arts portion of the standards call for a coordinated effort of literacy instruction in English, science, history/social sciences, and technical subjects.

"Overall, the CCSS challenge us to think about how we teach students across the disciplines. The developers’ intent to formulate standards that are “fewer, clearer, and higher” is designed to illuminate a pathway to college and career. The ELA standards call for teaching students how to understand the vocabulary of their disciplines, to collaborate with fellow learners, and to communicate through discussion and writing. Much of this learning emanates from the texts used in each discipline, including scientific studies, essays, speeches, technical documents, and narrative forms. Of special note is the topic of text complexity and its implications for curriculum and instruction." @http://secondaryreading.pds-hrd.wikispaces.net/file/view/Fisher_and_Frey_-_Text_Complexity_-_January_2012.pdf/304895392/Fisher_and_Frey_-_Text_Complexity_-_January_2012.pdf

"Wait. Whoa. Whooooooa. You barely have enough time to teach content. And now . . . this additional expectation? Grrrrrrrrr.
 * for your science teachers:**

"The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the Common Core Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects. These standards are an integral part of the overall standards for English Language Arts in grades K-12. The standards bring a shift toward literacy and literacy is everyone's job. Gone are the days when just the English teachers worked on literacy. Literacy is job one of all staff. This literacy focus spans content areas and grade levels. This document provides hints and tips for the part of the Common Core Standards that were written specifically for the content areas."
