English Language Arts Teachers Team
District office staff, principals, teachers, and support staff from all schools came together to develop future plans for English Language Arts (ELA) within district classrooms, forming a team known as the ELA Teachers Team. The team aims to work collaboratively to be more intentional about how ELA is taught across the district. Ms. Gail Wilson, the district’s English Language Arts Curriculum Content Specialist, led the effort. She thanks Mrs. Green, Ms. Maybank, Mr. Jefferson, and Mr. Raley for encouraging the ELA Teachers Team members to participate in the meetings after school for the past few months and for providing support through quick walkthroughs, words of encouragement, and willingness to help. The team had some fantastic discussions about the new standards and support documents, and it was a true team effort.
