Elementary school, Middle school With two exemplary EL schools in one city, the Rochester Site Seminar is an unparalleled experience. The Genesee Community Charter School sets a national standard for exemplary student performance, rich learning expeditions, high quality student projects, and integration of the arts. There may be no more inspiring story of improved student achievement in the EL network than that of World of Inquiry School, where test scores have risen steadily for seven years in working with EL to the very top of the Rochester City School District. Both schools feature quality teaching practices, exemplary student achievement on state assessments, and strong, positive school cultures.
Join us at the Genesee Community Charter School and World of Inquiry School and experience two different settings and implementations of EL. Our site seminar will give you a comprehensive vision of EL in two urban elementary schools. Participants will explore details of active pedagogy and learn specific tools and protocols to nurture quality teacher and student work. Learning expeditions, school and classroom culture, integration of the arts, and assessment will be emphasized.
