Teachers will plan, implement and differentiate lessons with appropriately rigorous tasks that are Next Generation State Standards aligned, and that require students to:
- analyze a variety of culturally responsive-sustaining (CRSE) texts,
- engage in academic discourse,
- build academic vocabulary,
- receive actionable feedback with an opportunity to revise based on the feedback,
- develop postsecondary writing skills to impact student achievement and ensure ownership
of their learning.
Together, we will also ensure that our students receive evidence based social emotional learning supports so that they meet their academic goals.
