This PowerPoint presentation outlines New Hampshire’s Literary Action Plan for the 21st Century and provides a brief summary of each section. It also describes the history behind the plan and defines its goal: to make quality literacy instruction available to every student. The presentation highlights the infrastructure necessary for supporting literacy, details what personalized instruction preK-16 requires, and lists the resources used in creating the action plan. It also summarizes the state's process for rolling out and implementing the plan across New Hampshire. This PowerPoint would be a good tool for states that are thinking through how they want to unroll their own literacy, or other high school redesign, plans.
