NEW MTN Offices

Our offices have moved within the Carlisle Building. We now have our own wing and soon a resource center where teachers can come to work and/or browse materials.

New Website Features

The MTN Website has two new sections - MTN Writing Units and Assessment Literacy.

Meredith Pike-Baky has put together a collection of resources to assist K-12 teachers in developing a writing program. Each genre, except one, has 3 different prompts, a rubric, student samples, and suggested follow up samples. We hope teachers will use these units throughout the year and contribute additional prompts, student samples, and activities to make the writing units a valuable resource for teachers.

Gretchen Muller has collected assessment literacy resources for administrators and teachers to use as information resources for themselves, to share at staff meetings, or to use for parent education. Feel free to send additional resources you find useful.
