School Goals:

Students will independently communicate their learning by:

-Producing effective writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate for various
audiences and purposes.
-Demonstrating the ability to model and reason by communicating their thinking both verbally and in
written form.
- Investigating and gathering evidence in order to explain, argue claims, and solve real world problems.
