Achievers Early College Prep

We are a literacy-focused middle school that's an intervention zone, at its core. Students will read leveled books, and independent picks on their own time, and will be practicing all-school reading, annotating and notetaking strategies in across content areas. Our ELA curriculum is novel-based and we believe we've got rich, well-written and culturally relevant stories to teach reading, thinking, and writing with. We believe in the right intersection of direct teaching and project-based learning, but we believe that we have to help our students build proficiency in skills before we can let the content do the driving. We believe in the strategies exposed in Teach Like and Champion and will be holding a number of them sacrosanct in order to make sure our school is a bastion for learning, academic minutes are preserved, and expectations are high and clear for all.
