Department of English Language Arts and Literacy K-12

  • Mission: We work with building leaders, educators, and families across the district to provide equitable opportunities for all students to engage in grade-level, rigorous ELA learning experiences that unlock our scholars' potential and activate their dreams.
     
    Vision: We envision our students as aspiring learners who think critically and persevere in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. They communicate precisely using evidence and sound reasoning. Through developing advanced literacies, all students will be provided a set of skills and competencies that enable communication, spoken and written, in increasingly varied ways and with increasingly diverse audiences.
