Literacy Focus 20 minutes Students will have access to
various activities for reading and
literacyInterdisciplinary Teams (ITs) What are ITs? Your student’s team of Administrator, Counselor, Science, English and Social Science teachers (math, PE and electives are off-team but included in discussions) Purpose of ITs? to take a large school and make the experience more developmentally appropriate. The group of teachers/students that YOUR student interacts with becomes smaller and less overwhelming. ITs have regular meetings to discuss students who may need additional academic or social/emotional help. This is part of our multi-tiered system of support. How? - ITs will meet regularly and use their discussions to assist students on Mondays and/or during class time. Administrators and Counselors might also need to help students on occasion. Our master schedule is built so that students will have the same teachers all year.
