OUR ELA MISSION:
Our mission is to foster a strong literacy foundation in every learner through student-centered, standards-aligned English Language Arts instruction that is equitable, engaging, and empowering. We are committed to providing effective, data-driven assessment and targeted instruction to meet learners where they are and guide them forward towards mastery of reading and writing skills with intention and purpose. We believe in purposeful, productive, and positive collaboration among educators, students, and families to build a shared vision of academic excellence and personal growth. Together, we pursue incremental and impactful progress for every student and teacher—ensuring that each step forward promotes a lifelong love of literacy and learning.Â
OUR ELA VISION:
We envision a literacy classroom where:
Students see themselves as capable and confident readers and writers.
Students receive systematic and explicit standards-aligned instruction that work to build a strong literacy foundation.
Students are doing the majority of the work, both thinking and talking, reading and writing, that leads to learning.
Students feel safe enough to take risks and to see mistakes as opportunities to learn.
All students have access to high quality instructional materials that engage and challenge them with rich, real-world, grade level tasks. Â
Students receive ongoing, timely, and actionable feedback on their learning that meets them where they are and empowers them to grow.
OUR ELA BELIEFS:
 We believe that literacy encompasses the mastery of foundational skills: phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension and the application of these skills to read and write proficiently, enabling students to meet grade-level ELA standards.
 We are committed to providing instruction grounded in current research, emphasizing effective literacy approaches that are explicit, systematic, and evidence-based to support all learners.
 We work to cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities through inquiry-based learning with texts of varying complexity, encouraging student choice to inspire innovation and prepare students for college, career, and lifelong learning.
 We are dedicated to ensuring that all students, regardless of background or learning needs, have equitable access to high-quality literacy instruction that promotes academic achievement and personal growth.
 We utilize formative and summative assessments to inform instructional decisions, monitor student progress, and tailor interventions that address individual learning needs, fostering continuous improvement in literacy outcomes.
 We believe in the power of collaboration among educators, students, families, and the community to create a supportive learning environment that encourages shared responsibility for student success in literacy.
 We strive to instill a lifelong love of reading and writing by providing engaging, relevant, and culturally responsive texts and experiences that connect literacy to students' lives and the world around them.
