Overview
The Middletown City School District provides literacy
and language instruction for students in grades Pre-K
through 12 that is designed to support students in becoming
proficient readers, writers, listeners, and speakers.
The district maintains a comprehensive literacy
instructional model as outlined in the
Literacy Framework and
English
Language Arts Scope and Sequence. The framework
provides teachers with a methodology of "how to teach
literacy," while the scope and sequence provides teachers
with the "how to teach and which materials to use that
will best meet the needs of all students." Incorporated in
these documents are systematic ongoing assessments that
help teachers form their instruction.
Curriculum
To help students meet or exceed the
New York State
English Language Arts Standards, the district has
outlined an instructional framework that provides
teachers with a variety of approaches.
In
addition, the district developed a scope and
sequence for each grade level which provides consistent
instruction and materials for teachers to use that are
aligned with state standards. The district also developed
literacy assessments that are designed to help teachers
set guidelines for assessing students. These include the
use of writing rubrics.
