Shifts in Instruction
In order to meet the rigor of Next Generation State Standards, a shift
in instruction must occur. Our Berkeley County ELA Literacy Model
reflects best practices for implementation.

• Second Nine Weeks– Guided Reading Groups
• Third Nine Weeks– Literature Circles (3rd-5th) and Literacy Work Stations (K-2)
• Fourth Nine Weeks– Sustaining all components
