Dispelling the Myth: University Park Campus School

Printer-friendly version

University Park Campus School is a small, urban school in which 75 percent of the students speak English as a second language. Most students enter seventh grade reading well below grade level, but by 10th grade they all pass the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) -- most at proficient and advanced levels. June Eressy, principal and founding English teacher of the University Park Campus School, offers a “how-to” guide to literacy across the curriculum to promote universal student achievement. She will share strategies to create a school-wide curricular program that focuses on advancing literacy in all classes and demonstrates specific techniques to help students develop their reading, writing, and thinking skills in English and content area classes.
