Expectations in English?

M.E. LaZerte prides itself on being an innovative and inspirational school, tirelessly looking for new and better ways to Inspire Passion, Develop Character, and Change Lives.

M.E. LaZerte's English Department has shifted its focus towards developing students' reading and writing processes, moving beyond traditional texts and tasks. The approach emphasizes skill-building, further signifying the importance of understanding the craftsmanship behind texts and applying these insights in students' own work. This change has been well-received over the past three years, with a focus on empowering students to appreciate and utilize the power of language in their writing. Pedagogical practices and grading systems have adapted to reflect this new direction of learning for our students here at M.E LaZerte!
