Literacy
By the end of Grade 12, students will develop proficiency, confidence and fluency in reading, writing, listening, speaking and viewing to meet the literacy demands of the 21st century.
Connecticut Common Core of Learning
As a result of education in Grades K-12, students will:
-
read, write, speak, listen and view to construct meaning of written, visual and oral texts;
-
read with understanding and respond thoughtfully to a variety of texts;
-
write and speak English proficiently to communicate ideas clearly;
-
create works using the language arts in visual, oral and written texts;
-
choose and apply strategies that enhance the fluent and proficient use of the language arts;
understand and appreciate texts from many historical periods and cultures; and
-
employ the language arts for lifelong learning, work and enjoyment.
Discipline-based learning in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Word Languages, The Arts, Health and Safety Education, Physical Education and Technology Education should not be construed as a set of isolated skills and understandings. To the contrary, it should be viewed as an integrated and interdependent set of learning expectations. Literacy must be viewed and taught across all disciplines.
