Middle Grades English/Language Arts

We have several offerings this summer, including: 

• Site-based options for those looking to plan with their colleagues or to organize their curricular materials to hit the ground running next year

• Cross-site planning for those looking to connect with others across the district

• Working groups for those looking to share ideas and create future guidance and resources

• New teacher options for those just starting out or needing a refresher o the EL Education curriculum

All participants will be paid extended hours per UESF agreement.

After two years of piloting EL Education in 46 6th-8th grade teachers’ classrooms across 15 schools and engaging in a curriculum review process, a recommendation was made to the Board of Education to formally adopt EL Education as SFUSD’s 6th-8th grade English/Language Arts Core Curriculum starting in the 24-25 school year. On Tuesday, March 26, 2024, the Board voted unanimously to adopt the recommended curriculum. 

Designed by the Sacramento County Office of Education, eStandards correlate the ELD Standards to the ELA & Literacy Standards.  eStandards apps are available for iPhone and Android.
