Through standards-aligned close reading and academic writing lessons for English language arts, science, social studies, and math, ThinkCERCA’s schoolwide approach to literacy instruction prepares students in grades 4-12 for post-secondary life by building up their analytical skills in every subject.

ThinkCERCA was launched in 2012 by founder Eileen Murphy, who spent 15 years teaching high school English and later was a curriculum director for 115 Chicago schools. ThinkCERCA’s  digital program forces students to think critically, work collaboratively, and remain constantly engaged with the content. Its software is now being used in 220 school districts around the country.
