| | 85% of Pleasant Grove 7th Graders Proficient in Writing When 7th grade teacher, Jerry Moore, was a student, writing was not his favorite subject. In fact, he even struggled with it throughout college. That is why he has committed himself to making sure his students have a firm foundation in writing.
Over the years, Mr. Moore has spent many weeks during summer breaks attending workshops focused on writing instruction. These programs through the Area III Writing Project have provided Mr. Moore with the tools necessary to develop a successful program.
In 2004, Pleasant Grove School had 100% students not proficient in writing. Those results instigated an emphasis in writing instruction and in 2007 writing scores showed significant improvement. Since then, writing instruction continues to be an emphasis, and as a result, students are steadily becoming proficient writers.
