Claim ProfileWhy Portland Middle School was nominated
To reduce the number of failed classes, missing assignments, and low attendance, Portland Middle School created a more structured transition from elementary school to middle school. All sixth-graders start and end their day with their homeroom teacher, have physical education, and stay with the same core teachers all year long. During the intervention/enrichment block on the schedule, students get what they need…either support in math and/or reading or an enrichment opportunity. A common planning time for sixth-grade teachers allows time for collaboration and reflection on current practices and results. Sixth-grade students also start the school year one day before the rest of the middle school.
