1) Reading & Writing
Students will use reading and writing from diverse perspectives, cultures, and genres to understand the world around them, find joy in reading and writing for leisure, make positive change in their communities, and fight injustice.
2) Emotional Intelligence
Students will engage in respectful classroom discussions on diverse and relevant subjects to build empathy towards themselves and others.

Students will make connections between the texts we engage with and their lived experiences to build reading and writing stamina, and strengthen reading comprehension.
4) Authentic Expression
Students will express themselves and their knowledge in a variety of forms, mediums, and languages.
