3rd–5th grade science and writing teachers from all four campuses spent the day learning strategies from The Writing Revolution. This training focuses on helping students improve the structure and clarity of their writing, starting with strong sentences and building up to full paragraphs and essays. After training, teachers put their new knowledge into practice by scoring student writing samples using the DESE rubric. It’s all part of our districtwide effort to strengthen literacy and support student success in every subject area.

Fifth graders in Mrs. Hayslip’s class at Taylor Elementary are learning that life skills like goal setting and self-reflection are just as important as academic content. Through one-on-one data conferences, students meet directly with their teacher to review ATLAS test data, classroom assessments, and Lexia Core5 results while setting personal goals and taking ownership of their learning.
