We strongly encourage you to rely on resources for literacy professional development that are deeply informed by research. As a reminder, research is the systematic collection and analysis of data to address a research question. Research is designed so that multiple answers are possible, including answers that the researcher did not expect. Just because something is written in a book or article does not make it research or research-informed. For more information on what research is, please see Duke, N. K., & Martin, N. M. (2011). 10 things every literacy educator should know about research. The Reading Teacher, 65, 9-22. __http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1598/RT.65.1.2/full__ In our view, the following resources are deeply informed by research. This is by no means an exhaustive list of such resources. (For actual research studies related to each Essential, please see the Endnotes of the Essentials document.) In the future, the state will have modules on each of the instructional essentials that will be another powerful resource for professional learning.
