Each month they bring back a calendar of time read and receive rewards for their efforts. We are committed to the Guilford County Schools Balanced Literacy Plan. The students benefit from the time, energy and effort of the teachers as they develop this into a strong program for Alderman students. Many staff development activities have taken place as teachers learn specific methodologies for teaching reading. The Prioritized Curriculum in Language Arts and Math are important components of the instructional day.
Teachers meet with their grade levels and make plans for a structured and enriching day.
We have a culturally diverse environment. It is rewarding to observe the many different children from many different backgrounds come together to work, learn and play. We have two ESOL teachers to assist with children who are not totally proficient with the English language. We provide a cadre of staff who bring to us a rich knowledge of skills for working with many different kinds of learners. We have parental support and volunteers who come to tutor and assist in different ways.
