Grades K – 5 English Language Arts
The English Language Arts curriculum allows all students in Grades K-5 access to advanced academic learning experiences through a responsive instruction model. This means throughout the school year, students are flexibly placed in teacher-facilitated instructional groups based upon an assessment of student readiness and need. Three instructional pathways exist for each unit: on-grade level with support, enrichment, and acceleration. The acceleration small group pathway provides advanced academic learning experiences of increased complexity, depth, and abstraction for those students who have the capability or potential to embrace a rigorous learning experience in English Language Arts.
