HMS Instructional Focus:To advance our work with academic discourse and equitable literacy, the HMS Instructional Focus is to develop our students’ publishing skills in American Sign Language. Developing a solid foundation in biliterate publishing (prework, respond/draft, revise, edit and publish) will support the development of students' writing skills as they bridge to English. Students will effectively create strong curriculum-based texts according to the K-12 ASL Content Standards, including purpose, organization, and language.

DESE Academic Vision:"Every student in Massachusetts has access to a safe and supportive school environment that cultivates academic curiosity and confidence. Students have equitable access to an excellent education. Students read meaningful texts across content areas, work on complex real-world problems, participate in the arts, and share their ideas through speaking and writing using evidence, all in an effort to understand the world, their personal identities and their roles in the world.”
