Newburgh Enlarged School District Heritage Middle School School Comprehensive Education Plan 2026-2027
This School Comprehensive Education Plan (SCEP) outlines a framework for ensuring high-quality, equitable, and adaptive Tier 1 instruction through standards-aligned, student-centered approaches. It prioritizes increasing academic vocabulary and implementing explicit writing instruction across all content areas, with a specific focus on supporting African American students, multilingual learners, and students with disabilities. The plan details structured Professional Learning Communities for teacher development and establishes core routines for the Instructional Leadership Team to monitor curriculum, instructional practices, and equitable access. Additionally, it defines structures for comprehensive student support, including a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) for interventions and a proactive attendance monitoring framework to ensure all students are engaged, present, and connected to rigorous grade-level learning.
