Teachers at Devinny will be knowledgeable about and accountable for implementing Jeffco standards and curriculum systematically and systemically. We believe that learning is developmental. We believe that authentic learning integrates a variety of content areas. For learning to occur we believe it is essential to strive for an environment that is physically, socially and emotionally safe and positive. Students will enjoy learning, take educational risks and make good decisions.
Literacy is the foundation of all learning.
Devinny is implementing District literacy programs. The staff at Devinny has targeted 2 areas for improvement in regard to literacy. Evaluation of the data suggests this is a weaker area for us, relatively speaking, and one in which we can demonstrate the most gains. Our second literacy goal for the upcoming school year is to increase reading comprehension scores by improving retelling skills. The staff believes we need to clarify expectations and improve implementation of instruction grade to grade in this area.
