Lynn Public Schools | Secondary English Language Arts
Middle School ELA Program
A coherent Grades 6–8 pathway that develops critical thinkers, effective communicators, and lifelong learners.
Our Vision
The Lynn Public Schools vision for Middle School ELA centers on providing opportunities for our students to become critical thinkers, effective communicators, and lifelong learners. Students will build essential literacy skills through equitable access to high-quality instructional materials, data-driven practices, as well as targeted differentiation to scaffold, support, and extend learning. Through student-centered, culturally-responsive environments, our learners will participate in academic experiences that foster a sense of belonging within their school community.
