Dear Westborough Families and Colleagues,
Everyday in our elementary classrooms teachers are instructing young learners on fundamental literacy skills and developing a love of reading. Understanding all of the work that goes into that instructional preparation and planning can often be invisible to anyone visiting the classroom or watching their child develop as a reader.
In this episode of Superintendent's Spotlight, I have the opportunity to sit down with Westborough's dedicated Literacy Coordinators, Christina Cooney (PreK-3) and Stephanie Nephew (4-6). Together, they delve into the innovative world of education, exploring strategies to inspire young readers and nurture their love for literature. They share how the effective use of data and targeted extra support is part of the process to support classroom instruction.
It is our hope that these spotlight segments provide insights and information about the collaboration and planning that Westborough teachers are engaged in everyday to develop instruction that meets the needs of our students.
I look forward to sharing more Spotlight segments where I provide an indepth look inside our classrooms.
Take care,
Amber
