PS 108K is committed to educational equity, where each student will have what they need to reach their full potential.

Our literacy vision at PS 108K is to create a community of lifelong literacy learners who have a joy for reading, writing, listening, and speaking confidently. We believe that literacy is at the heart of all learning and is fundamental to each student’s success.

To create a learner-centered environment where all teachers plan opportunities for students to use content-based rubrics or success criteria so students take ownership of their learning through self-monitoring & choosing strategies that work best for them which leads to improved student outcomes in reading and writing by embedding UDL, differentiation, SDI, and enrichment and cultural relevance as appropriate into daily instruction.

Students will engage in peer discussions based on success criteria or rubrics to provide feedback, extend, justify and elaborate their thinking which will lead to improved student work.
