Instructional Focus
Woodland Academy’s school-wide commitment is to ensure that all students show measurable growth in their ability to: read grade level text with understanding, explain their thinking in writing across all curriculum areas. 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, MAP, ACCESS and MCAS.
