Academic Instruction:
Language Arts:
Wonders is the program that Granite School District uses for K-6 reading instruction. Teachers will teach according to the standards and objectives found in the Utah Core Standards. Each month, students will be assessed on their proficiency levels on selected ELA priority standards using CFAs (Common Formative Assessments) and other assessments. Teachers on each grade level will meet weekly in data teams to discuss ways to increase student understanding in the priority standards and look at student achievement data. Students not achieving proficiency will be retaught. This is important as they will be assessed on RISE tests at the end of the year to determine the academic growth that they have achieved.
