Joining the Hair on Fire team in year two 2013-2014, is the team for Grades 6-12 Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects.  Teachers in these subjects areas will use their content knowledge in order to help students meet the literacy demands of reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language.  Students who have strong literacy skills within specific content areas are better able to be college and career ready.  These literacy standards are supplemental to the content standards for the subject areas mentioned above.
