Once again, these references define a standard for administration, teachers, and students to aim towards. By identifying general goals and objectives, teachers especially are able to plan for/with specific texts. For example, Foundations IV specifically mentions Shakespeare. From the start, a teacher will at least know one possible text to use in the curriculum design.
In addition to being able to suggest and clarify appropriate texts, the National Standards offer a number of literacy methods. On a unit of script writing, improvising can be explored. During a unit of directing, students can be assigned to conduct rehearsals.
As the Utah Core Curriculum and the National Theatre Standards are implemented in a curriculum design, teachers are guaranteed to see text and literacy. It will not only facilitate the planning and preparing of the teacher, but it will enhance the overall education of the student as they are being exposed to text through literacy.
