English teachers from the English Language Arts (ELA) Goal Team in grades 9-12 spent the past two days working together to continue working on curriculum improvements for the 2016-17 school year, led by Nan Lustig, Literacy Learning Specialist. “We’re infusing the 9-12 English curriculum with engaging texts,” said Megan Coultas, a West English teacher. “Our objective is to foster student growth, cultivate curiosity, and prepare students for excellence.” 

Patricia McIntyre, also a West English teacher said, “The work we are doing is important in honoring the standards with fidelity, while ensuring an engaging experience for students of all interest and ability levels.”  Stay tuned for more updates from the ELA Goal Team.
