Abstract
Preservice teachers carefully craft lesson plans to meet the academic needs of elementary through high school students in their fieldwork. They rely in part on finding high quality texts and trade books that relate to College and Career Readiness Standards (CCR). While college curriculum libraries are excellent sources for materials, their organization often is not aligned with national curriculum academic standards. Preservice teachers therefore sometimes struggle to find appropriate analog resources to create lesson plans that integrate disciplinary literacy. This research utilizes CCR standards, survey data from stakeholders, and library organizational research literature to create a categorization system based on academic subjects within the framework of the CCR standards. Since this system was employed, use of curriculum library materials has increased and preservice teachers' lesson plans have shown signs of greater originality. Other institutions could adapt this research and organizational system to support all preservice educators.
