Courses include a significant proportion of literary nonfiction, close reading to draw evidence from text, reading with adequate range and complexity, and argumentative and explanatory writing.
“Edgenuity’s newest courses in Math and ELA have been designed to help students and teachers meet not just the standards, but the instructional shifts of the Common Core,” said Sari Factor, CEO of Edgenuity. “It’s great to see that The ComputED Gazette recognized the extent of our efforts by deeming our courses as most aligned to the Common Core.
