Writing Across the Curriculum

To ensure our students are prepared for the rigor of college and career ready, we have adopted the core standards for writing and train our staff on the use of the Hochman method for writing and the Calderon ExC-ELL strategies to support language learners with rigorous academic writing.  Additionally, writing is implemented across all content areas with a monthly cross curricular writing prompt based on a provocative reading during advisory or a selected period of the day.   Below are links to the Common Core Standards for Writing, Hochman method, and Calderon ExC-ELL writing strategies.
