Celebrating Our Middle School Vertical Literacy Teams' Impact on Student Learning

Secondary Literacy Update:

On Monday, November 8th, all of our literacy professional learning communities across all of our middle schools, came together to share and celebrate our collective impact on student learning. The purpose: 

• To strongly connect the why and how of our teaching to what students are learning.

• To celebrate our collective expertise and successes across buildings and professional learning communities. 

• To see and feel our impact on students and each other.

Here are some ideas and student work examples that were shared:

A huge thank-you to Natalie Guevara, a Partnerships in Comprehensive Literacy lead teacher at Les Paul Middle School, for helping lead the work with our entire middle school team. Natalie, your bravery as a teacher, Marine, and facilitator of our curriculum-creating student panel gives everyone around you energy and empowerment. Thank you.
