Cambridge Elementary, in conjunction with the National Center for School Improvement (NCSI), is committed to creating school improvement in the area of balanced literacy through vision building, curriculum development, professional development, and action research. We believe that all individuals in the school organization (students, teachers, community members, and administrators) learn, teach, and lead in a democratic process that promotes students as valuable citizens.

Evaluation

In December 2004, a teacher survey was conducted to get feedback on the Book Study that took place in the fall. A Discourse questionnaire containing eight questions was completed by all grade level teachers. Feedback from the survey is now being used to plan for professional development activities for the fall of 2005.

Student surveys were conducted in April 2005 to assess student feelings about literacy at Cambridge. Their responses will help guide planning our classroom environment.
