Instructional Focus
Nelson Place School is committed to developing a community of learners within an engaging environment that is centered around student learning with a focus on reading and writing across all content areas. Students will show measurable growth in their ability to read grade level text with understanding and explain their thinking in writing to demonstrate comprehension. This will be achieved through the implementation of a common set of standards based teaching practices and measured by formative and summative assessments such as rubric scored responses, BAS, STAR, ACCESS, and MCAS data.
