K-12 Literacy Mission
To develop independent and confident readers, writers, communicators and thinkers by providing every student with authentic and rigorous learning experiences through a structured, culturally responsive and evidence-based approach to literacy instruction. Through high expectations that foster college and career readiness, CCSD will ensure students have the skills to compete in today's global, knowledge-based economy.
Belief Statements
We believe it is the responsibility of all District stakeholders to guarantee that students are given:
- Access to an evidence-based approach to literacy instruction, enrichment, and intervention.
- Access to explicit, systematic literacy instruction that integrates listening, speaking, reading and writing.
- Access to literacy instruction designed to carefully structure and sequence important literacy skills and concepts to facilitate students’ literacy learning and progress.
- Access to highly explicit instruction in foundational skills as well as in higher-level aspects of literacy instruction such as syntax, reading comprehension, text comprehension, and writing.
- Access to texts diverse in culture, complexity, genre, and topics.
- Opportunities to respond and practice what they are learning.
- Opportunities to receive clear, prompt, constructive feedback.
- Multiple practice opportunities for instructional tasks.
- Opportunities to authentically engage during teacher-led instruction as well as during independent work.
