We will expand hands-on, arts infusion, and critical thinking activities. Our school schedule was adjusted to increase instructional time in major subjects and to allow staff to work with a smaller amount of students. Instructional support for math, reading, writing is across the curriculum with after school remedial program in math and reading, along with job-alike meetings for staff to support instruction. Transitional Program Cluster 6 and cluster 7 have transitional programs for the Lewis with a schedule that increases mathematics and language arts instruction to 90 minutes a day for each subject. All clusters are broken into mini-clusters of two teacher teams with a literacy block with small group instruction.
Students attend one specialty class daily.
Social Studies and Science are taught with a base of reading and math so all major skills for Stanford 9 are integrated. A classroom assistant is assigned to the cluster. To reinforce instruction, paraprofessionals have been assigned to Clusters 6 and 7. Increased instructional time, as well as use of outside resources, support instruction. The Lewis School has made great strides in technology with a new computer lab and teacher training.
