Teachers maintain high expectations for all students. A comprehensive curriculum supported by a strong scope and sequence results in high student achievement. Teachers have easy access to resources including a professional library, district Instructional Specialists for each academic area, manipulatives and other materials. A strong focus on current research and staff development keeps teachers informed of best practices and enables them to grow professionally. Additional help for students is available through a variety of support programs.
Corrective Reading are programs that help students needing additional reading instruction.
Tutorial sessions are offered during the school day and as an extended-day program. Test scores indicate that these programs are successful. Reading and writing scores have remained high despite the changing demographics. There is a conscious effort at MPE to foster an environment where individual differences are accepted and valued. MPE was one of the first schools in the district to incorporate the inclusion efforts into campus improvement plans.
