“We didn’t focus solely on our language arts teachers. Getting our science teachers and social studies teachers involved in the initiative was really impactful. It created a culture of collective responsibility for this goal. We’re all focused on helping [students] grow as readers; it’s the responsibility of the entire school community.”
Assistant Superintendent
“A lot of teachers are finding Formative is a time-saver... That flexibility and simplicity in collaborating has been really useful.”
Professional Learning Coach
“We’re working hard with teachers to develop an intentional reading component and tie that with a writing component. The resources in Newsela Social Studies lend themselves to that. Teachers could go through a whole cycle of reading and writing, in one or two class periods, and do that effectively.”
