Raising Academic Standards
As part of the Jeffco Public Schools, Wilmot Elementary follows the Colorado academic standards aligned with the national Common Core standards. Teachers vetted several different English Language Arts (ELA) curriculums recommended by the state of Colorado and by Jeffco Public Schools for implementation in the 22-23 school year.
The staff voted unanimously to adopt Expeditionary Learning (EL Education) based on high-quality reading materials, structure aligned with the science of reading, emphasis on writing instructional components and the integration of Social Emotional Learning.
Pillars of EL Education:
- Mastery of knowledge
- Skills
- High-quality student work and character.
The program’s focus on character dovetails with Wilmot’s core values of generosity, integrity, responsibility and respect.
