We Believe...
Vision: The Darden learning community will develop self-motivated learners through the power of literacy.
Theory of Action: If we provide more opportunities for students to be able to understand, analyze, and synthesize text orally then our students will be able to apply the skills in written response to literature.
Goal: All students will be reading on grade level by the end of the year. We will measure the student learning goal using progress monitoring oral reading fluency data and MOY/ EOY IREADY Reading data.
