Its main purpose is to address rigor in curriculum content and the manner in which the content is delivered. All students begin in whole group instruction designed to introduce grade-level skills and concepts. The majority of time in the literacy block is dedicated to differentiated small group instruction configured to provide students with meaningful learning experiences designed to meet specific learning needs. Finally, all students reconnect during the whole group instruction to conclude the reading or writing portion of the literacy block. Students are assessed regularly to address reading difficulties and strengths in order to provide appropriate differentiated instruction to meet individual needs.<\/p>\n<h2>Comprehensive Math and Science Plan<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0Comprehensive Math and Science Plan\u00a0will include a guaranteed and viable curriculum for mathematics and science, research-based instructional design and strategies, assessments that inform teaching and learning, aligned resources including instructional technology, system-wide ongoing professional development, and broad community and constituency engagement.<\/p>\n<h2>Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2628\" src=\"https:\/\/mpsschoolwebsi.wpenginepowered.com\/riverwest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/04\/pbis-logo-300x113.png\" alt=\"Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports\" width=\"300\" height=\"113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/k12.mps.school\/riverwest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/04\/pbis-logo-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/k12.mps.school\/riverwest\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2024\/04\/pbis-logo.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>PBIS\u00a0is a joint effort between Milwaukee Public Schools\u00a0Office of Family Services and the Milwaukee Teachers\u2019 Education Association to effectively reduce classroom disruptions and student suspensions through a school-wide systematic tiered-intervention approach.
