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.
The following are examples of documents and materials used when implementing good teaching practices, events and activities related to the action plan. These include inservices, book studies, grade level meetings and literacy happy hours, as well as examples of student work.
