The U.W. Center for Education Leadership (CEL) brought leaders from Central Point School District in Oregon to observe Highline classrooms on February 25. The visitors spent time at Shorewood Elementary and Academy of Citizenship and Empowerment (ACE) to see how schools have incorporated literacy work and how the CEL-Highline partnership has impacted teaching and learning.

CEL has helped Highline establish new practices in literacy instruction over the past several years, resulting in significant improvements in students’ reading and writing skills.
