Background:
|
As a priority area for the 2018-19 school year, the Ambitious Instruction Plan outlines a focus on core instruction in the areas of reading, writing, math and vocabulary for all students. For each of the focus areas, the essential skills, strategies and professional development needed for success are outlined.
Based on the work that has been done in the past two years on the Strategic Academic Priorities and setting a clear direction for the academic work moving forward, the presentation includes a vision statement for this work as well as the supports that will be provided for every school and every classroom. At the center of this plan are the pillars of high expectations, culturally relevant teaching practices and a connection to the lived experiences of MPS students.
The skills, strategies and development needs presented do not represent a comprehensive list of all academic skills in these areas but rather a list of the essential components that will ensure a consistent focus and implementation across the district. This information was developed by a team of professionals including all departments of Central Services, school administrators and K-12 teachers. Finally, the skills and strategies presented are not tied to a specific textbook or program allowing for school choice of materials to ensure success.
