We believe writing is the path to critical thinking.

    Join us for a webinar with ThinkCERCA and Cengage School, where we’ll dig into why strong Tier 1 literacy instruction matters so much. Pick from three different sessions: 🗓️ April 1 @ 12:00 PM EST 🗓️ April 14 @ 9:00 AM EST 🗓️ April 20 @ 3:00 PM EST Register Here for: https://bit.ly/4dRur86 Tier 1 instruction is the foundation of learning for every student. When reading and writing function as core learning tools, not just skills taught in isolation, students develop a deeper understanding, stronger reasoning, and greater independence. Research from Dr. Timothy Shanahan, a leading literacy scholar, underscores why this matters and how Tier 1 instruction can be structured to make the biggest impact. ThinkCERCA makes this work doable every day by weaving reading and writing into regular classroom practice rather than treating them as add-ons. In the webinar, we’ll look at how ThinkCERCA helps teachers: ✔️ Engage students with high-quality, standards-aligned texts ✔️ Prompt students to write regularly using evidence from what they read ✔️ Give consistent feedback that supports growth over time ✔️Use ThinkCERCA Benchmarks that mirror the Georgia Milestones Whether you’re already partnering with us or exploring new options to strengthen ELA, this webinar will offer practical ideas and a clear look at how ThinkCERCA helps Georgia districts stay a step ahead.
