ACCESS is an organizational framework to help educators plan instruction that prepares students for high-stakes tests and promotes self-regulated literacy learning. ACCESS stands for tasks that are authentic, that require collaboration among students, that challenge students, that culminate with an end product, that allow self-direction by giving students choices, and that sustain learning across time. Each component of ACCESS supports self-regulated literacy learning, and the framework can be incorporated into teachers' busy schedules. (Contains 1 figure and 2 tables.)
