In Dublin City Schools, we believe that all students deserve a mathematical learning experience centered around communication, collaboration, thinking and problem solving.

"The Workshop Model is incorporated in the classroom to allow for maximum opportunities to differentiate learning for students. Classroom teachers differentiate instruction based on a variety of assessments in order to remediate any gaps identified in learning, or extend learning for students, providing timely in-class interventions as needed. Time is allocated every day for reading, writing and word study instruction through instructional practices such as interactive read aloud, focused lessons, guided reading, guided writing, explicit word study instruction, independent reading/ writing practice with teacher conferring, and small group instruction."

The components of the classroom writing workshop involves focus lessons, guided/shared/independent practice and reflection.

"Word Study (spelling and vocabulary) is an integral part of the Dublin Literacy Workshop Model and implied across the Language Arts Standards. All students will learn to spell within the context of meaningful reading and writing experiences."
