Literacy Goal

Clifton’s literacy program is guided by the HISD Literacy Leads the Way literacy commitments.  
In the Houston Independent School District, literacy is defined as the ability to read, write, speak, listen and think effectively.
Literacy Leads the Way recommends that all students spend a minimum of 20 to 25 percent of their time in each class engaged in integrated literacy strategies to support their content-specific learning (from the HISD website).

Clifton teacher PLC groups are designed to meet these goals by providing teachers an opportunity to meet and plan with all grade level content areas.
