  1. Nash-Rocky Mount Schools Literacy Plan Overview September 10th, 2013

  2. Nash-Rocky Mount Schools Literacy Plan Overview September 10, 2013 2:00 – 4:00 “Preparing ALL students for a bright and prosperous future by Deliberately and Intentionally providing Rigorous and Relevant instruction in every classroom, every day.” North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards Addressed Standard III: Teachers know the content they teach Standard IV: Teachers facilitate learning for their students Standard V: Teachers reflect on their practice Learning Targets: • I understand the types of materials that may be used as text. • I understand how to integrate literacy into my content area. • I understand the connections between Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening, Thinking and Creating.

  3. The Vision The NRMPS literacy vision is to develop and support on-going comprehensive literacy expectations for all grades and content areas, K-12. Our goal is to build, refine, and practice the life-long literacy skills of reading, writing, speaking, listening, thinking, and creating through content and supporting projects in an effort to prepare all students to be college and career ready contributing members of our democratic society.

  4. What Does the NRMS Literacy Model Look like

  5. Text

  6. Text: atangible artifact or document appropriate for students’ current level of social and intellectual development.

  7. We Believe… • NRMPS believes that text is the primary lens for literacy. • Through the text experience, literacy is engaged via a complete cycle of the reading, writing, speaking, listening, thinking, and creativity skills inherent in all content standards. • Texts can take a variety of forms, both print and non-print.

  9. Think out of the boxwhen it comes to selecting text.

  10. READING

  11. “Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.” ~ Ben Franklin

  12. We Believe… • We believe with support, practice, and daily reading opportunities, both students and teachers can become partners in teaching and learning reading in the content areas.

  13. WRITING

  14. We Believe… • Writing clarifies and refines thinking. • For assessing student understanding, writing is a non-negotiable. • Students need opportunities to write daily. • Students need coaching and feedback on creating and refining a writing process in each content area. • The District Writing Plan outlines specific assignments that should be included at each grade level from various content areas.

  15. NRMS Digital Writing Support Pieces • Write to Learn (Grades 4-8) • Writing Coach • Essay Scorer

  16. Speaking

  17. Speaking The ability to express and articulate thoughts and ideas and engage in dialogue is an essential component of the Common Core State Standards and a key life-long learning skill.

  18. We believe… Through the discussion and exchange of ideas, students and teachers are able to: • learn to agree and disagree in a civil fashion, • examine and clarify various perspectives, • create new meaning, • articulate complex cognitive and metacognitive information, observations, and thought.

  19. Listening

  20. Listening • What did you say? • The ability to listen and think deeply about what you hear is a crucial literacy skill. • In what ways have you observed students practicing active listening?

  21. We Believe… If you are going to survive in the 21st Century, filtering all the noise is going to save your life.

  22. Thinking

  23. Thinking WRITING READING SPEAKING LISTENING THINKING

  24. Thinking • Thinking has been defined as the “…ability to explain and manipulate complex systems.”(Roberts and Billings) • Teaching students to think creatively and critically is the essential function of literacy.

  25. We Believe… We believe thinking can be taught with frequent and deliberate practice.

  26. CREATING

  27. Creativity Tools in NRMS

  28. We Believe… Creating well-defined projects, developed for authentic audiences, generates opportunities to: • demonstrate and assess (formative, benchmark, summative) mastery of standards, • practice life-long learning and sophisticated literacy skills.

  29. Kick Starting Creativity • Graduation Project • The District Writing Plan • Transition Projects • STEM Projects • Problem-Based Learning • Project-Based Learning • Performance Tasks • The 8 Math Practices • Paideia Coached Project • Inquiry Projects
