Springs School students master the basic skills of reading, writing, and math. Throughout the intermediate school and junior high school years this foundation is continuously improved. Teachers implement instructional activities and strategies including, but not limited to: pre-writing discussions, modeling of writing, writer’s notebook assignments, revision process and choice in writing. Students enjoy a variety of genres such as: creative writing, poetry, editorials, research papers, memoir, literary essay, timed writing, short and extended response writing and journaling. Springs School teachers reviewed data. Specific instructional guidance was provided, as needed, by the department supervisor and building principal. A pilot English language arts class was implemented to address an appropriate population of students with special needs. Students were enrolled in AIS as needed based upon their ELA assessment results.
