Erie 2-Chautauqua, Cattaraugus BOCES

New York’s Erie 2-Chautauqua, Cattaraugus BOCES will partner with four school library systems (Buffalo City, Catt-All, Erie 1 BOCES, and Orleans/Niagara) to develop a web-based, searchable resource for high-quality, K-12 nonfiction resources. Using this system, educators will find resources that can be used in conjunction with one another to teach a variety of literary elements. Educators across the country will have access to this program, but it will be helpful especially for those in states that have adopted the Common Core State Standards. These standards require teachers and librarians to increase the use of informational texts and to bring social studies and science into reading instruction. This project will better prepare teachers and librarians to meet the changing requirements of reading instruction in their states.
