Check out this wonderful video featuring Kim Shearer, the 2012 Kentucky Teacher of the Year, talking about KYVL, Lexile and the Common Core Standards.
KYVL has been promoting our resources with Lexile for nearly 15 years to K12 and our Adult Education colleagues, even before Kentucky was an official MetaMetrics partner. During this time, our vendors Grolier/Scholastic and EBSCO have added or increased the content that has Lexile assignments and have also implemented Lexile as a search option. Kim’s video is a wonderful corroboration of all these efforts, in addition to being a wonderful resource in and of itself.
