Standards Resources and Supports

The Office of Standards and Instruction provides resources to support districts and schools as they develop and implement high-quality, culturally responsive instruction designed to help all students achieve the expectations set forth in the NYS Learning Standards.    In addition to the below, please see the individual content area pages for resources specific to the content areas.

Literacy Briefs

The Science of Reading Literacy Briefs

These briefs were produced by Dr. Nonie K. Lesaux, Professor of Education and Human Development at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Katie C. Carr, M.Ed. The new literacy briefs may be used to strengthen knowledge of evidence-based literacy practices in PK-12 education.

Find more information relating to the literacy initiative in New York State at the Literacy Initiative webpage. 

Numeracy Briefs

Numeracy Briefs

These briefs were produced by Dr. Deborah Loewenberg Ball, Professor of Education at the University of Michigan, and TeachingWorks, a project at the University of Michigan. The numeracy briefs are grounded in research, written for educators, and provide specific and useful information to support evidence-based P-12 mathematical teaching practice.
