K-12 English Language Arts Mission and Philosophy
Barrington Public Schools
Mission Statement
Our mission is to engage all students
in a challenging, sequential, and differentiated K-12 English language arts curriculum,
driven by research-based best practice instruction and assessment
in reading, writing, and oral communication.
Philosophy
In Barrington Public Schools we believe the K-12 English language arts program:
· Encourages students to become confident and effective
communicators, critical readers and thinkers, and life-long learners.
· Establishes clear expectations and holds all students to high standards.
· Differentiates instruction by varying content, process, and product.
· Provides opportunities, encouragement, and the competency to pursue life’s goals as informed and contributing members of society.
· Encourages the school community in their commitment to reflect, improve, and collaborate upon their development as practitioners.
