Teachers meet with the Literacy coaches in their small learning communities to discuss best practices, instructional strategies, student needs, and acceleration of student achievement. Rubrics are used to inform instruction and to assist students in the development of their products and work. Students develop and present two term products, which are graded based on an appropriate rubric. Teachers use the Citywide Learning Standards to develop term objectives which guide their instructional planning and development. Through our formative and performance based assessments we monitor student performance, which informs and refines our instructional practices.
Coaches work with each small learning community to develop common reading and writing practices.
This ensures students spend part of each class period reading, writing, speaking and listening. I am very happy here.
