Bridging the Gap

The ELA teachers from Millennial Tech Middle, Knox Middle, and Nye Elementary are bridging the gap. Mr. Neil, principal of MTM, and teachers from MTM and Knox visited Mrs. Shire, a third-grade teacher at Nye Elementary, to observe guided reading. This small group of educators decided it would be useful to learn strategies used in elementary schools to help middle school students who struggle with reading. Mrs. Shire shared valuable information with teachers during a debriefing session post observation. The middle school teachers were able to implement these new strategies and provide students with scaffolds they had previously used. Team work makes a dream work. Good job!
