This plan focuses on high-quality, culturally appropriate teaching and learning. Our goal is to ensure that every student develops reading, writing, and math skills in ways that are meaningful to their individual lives and experiences. Our staff works together to understand each learner and find appropriate ways to assess and improve their progress. We then make sure that students can apply what they have learned in productive ways in school and in their community.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Core State Standards<\/h2>\n<p>The curriculum in Milwaukee Public Schools is based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecorestandards.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Core State Standards<\/a>. These standards were developed with teachers, school administrators, and experts to prepare all children for college and the workforce.<\/p>\n<h2>Special Education<\/h2>\n<p>MPS serves all children with disabilities, including cognitive, emotional, hearing, learning, physical, speech, and vision disabilities. The school\u2019s special education teachers, regular education teachers, school social worker, school psychologist, and administration work together to meet students\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n<p>If you think your child has special education needs, ask your child\u2019s teacher or principal for an evaluation.
