COMPONENT 4
Holistic assessment of the Language Arts and Literacy Curriculum which serves as feedback of its effectiveness to students, teachers, school administrators, and curriculum developers.
In a nutshell, the framework shows that: The goal of the curriculum is to produce graduates who posses communicative competence and multiliteracies. This can be achieved by developing competencies covering the strands of reading, writing, listening, speaking, and viewing.
These competencies can be targeted and developed by 1. taking into consideration the spiral progression approach, 2. putting learning in context, 3. integrating the macro skills, and 4. allowing the learners to engage in communication activities so that they eventually learn to apply what they have learned in real-life scenarios.
As support, teachers should explore approaches supported by theories and best practices in language teaching and learning. The whole process eventually sees outcomes through a holistic assessment.

CHALLENGE
An eight-year-old boy approached an old man in front of a wishing well, looked up into his eyes, and asked:
"I understand you're a very wise man. I'd like to know the secret of life."
The old man looked down at the youngster and replied: "I've
thought a lot in my lifetime, and the secret can be summed up in four words.
