__//** Instructional Focus **//__

All staff and students at Windham Middle School will engage in a whole school effort to demonstrate growth in students’ oral and written responses to open-ended questions using specific and relevant evidence from text and/or other instructional sources. This will be achieved through common and consistent teaching strategies. Growth will be measured by student performance on a variety of assessments given throughout the school year.
