WCPSS has added an Overview for Middle School English Language Arts for Families by grade level to the WCPSS Homework Resources page. These overviews outline modules of study by grade so that parents know what to expect over the course of the year. It also provides information for parents regarding how they can support their middle schoolers in their ELA learning. Spanish translations will be added soon.
In 2017, Wake County Public School System adopted EL Education as the new curriculum for English Language Arts Grades 3 through 8. EL Education is a curriculum written by and for teachers with emphasis placed on active learning and student engagement. Classrooms are structured with highly collaborative activities that allow students to engage in academic conversations and investigations of rich academic topics. EL aims to contribute to a student’s ability to be globally competitive and active contributors in building a better world. To learn more, please refer to the resources below.
