Middle school launches cross-curricular writing strategy and student recognition program
Summary
The middle school reported a year-long focus on student connection, a cross-curricular writing strategy using a RACE rubric, a new 'student of the month' recognition, and Red Ribbon Week prevention activities.
The middle school principal (speaker S6) described a year-long instructional focus on connecting students and building relationships, and the implementation of a cross-curricular writing strategy using a RACE rubric (restate, answer, cite evidence, explain). The principal said teachers are using the same writing strategy across subjects so staff can analyze writing samples and adjust instruction accordingly.
The principal also described a 'student of the month' recognition program, ASB fundraising with cookie-dough sales and Red Ribbon Week prevention activities with counseling partners. The principal emphasized that data from writing samples will be used to refine instruction and monitor the initiative’s impact.
