To be ready for college, workforce training, and life in a technological society, students need the ability to gather,

comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and report on information and ideas, to conduct original research in order to answer

questions or solve problems, and to analyze and create a high volume and extensive range of print and nonprint texts in media

forms old and new. The need to conduct research and to produce and consume media is embedded into every aspect of

today’s curriculum.
