As part of this introduction to HAC, we’ve included our proposal for making a shift to your secondary literacy model, the tenets that serve as a foundation for course design along with a unit analysis tool to plan for them, a framework to support a key part of the model called Third Period, and notes on implementation. Additionally, we have designed instructional resources that are excerpted from the Launch Module. Explore these resources and read more about HAC using the buttons below.
