Literacy Vision Statement
The overall literacy vision of elementary school educators is to foster a deep appreciation and understanding of reading, writing, and word study that encourages learners to be self-reflective and to positively impact their community through the authentic transfer of reading and writing habits, knowledge, skills, and strategies. Noblesville teachers will create strength-based, high-quality literacy instruction that helps all students learn with purpose, proficiency, power, and joy.
Literacy Learning Beliefs
- We believe in fostering a love for reading, writing, speaking, and listening, where students are inspired to explore literacy with curiosity and purpose that extends beyond the classroom.
- We believe in providing rich, diverse, and meaningful text experiences that both reflect students' identities and broaden their perspectives.
- We believe in evidence-based instructional practices that empower students to confidently read, write, and overall communicate effectively, equipping them to succeed in life beyond school.
- We believe in nurturing students' critical thinking and communication skills so they can become active, analytical readers and writers who thoughtfully contribute to society.
- We believe every student deserves equitable access to high-quality instruction and literacy resources.
- We believe that effective K-12 literacy instruction should follow a sequence of standards-based, evidence-based instruction, building from early foundational skills in primary grades so that students can effectively attend to texts of increasing complexity in the later grades.
