We have adopted and will be implementing the literacy program Success for All to help students improve in reading. Teachers meet during common planning time, before and after school to exchange and discuss best classroom practices. Our writing program has expanded to all students in Grades Kindergarten - 5. Our transitional instructor works primarily with the Grade 3 teachers and students. Students are grouped according to ability on different math topics.
Groups size varies after each concept.
The Quincy E. Dickerman School is a Cohort III school. We are pursuing our vision and continuing our focus on academic priorities that will take our students into the new millennium. We are currently transforming the whole school so that teachers are learning new ways to teach and reach all students. They will be provided with many opportunities to meet high academic standards. Teachers are continuing to increase their knowledge in the area of technology.
