The District Literacy Committee recently met to work on building curricular and pedagogical coherence in teaching English Language Arts across the District. Teachers from different grades and schools, the literacy coach, administrators, and Dr. Elsa Kortright-Torres, Executive Director of Teaching and Learning, focus on how teachers teach writing skills across all grade levels. For the next few months, the committee will conduct a needs assessment by looking at student work samples from each grade level to better understand the current needs of the students and make informed decisions.
