**PCIS Learning Strategies** Welcome! This wiki is maintained by the Literacy Support Team (LST) from Plymouth Community Intermediate School (PCIS) in Plymouth, MA. Our vision is: "PCIS - A Community of Learning Strategists." As a team, our goal is to create a culture of literacy across the content areas within our school. Over the past 7 years, we have worked on developing and sharing strategies, working with our colleagues on professional development, creating videos of strategies being used in the classroom, and expanding our strategy toolbox to incorporate more technology. Our belief is that literacy is the base on which all learning is built - therefore, all teachers are literacy specialists within their own content areas. It's our job to teach students how to be literate in math, science, social studies, English, the arts, etc. Remember - We are all learning strategists!

The links on the left contain more information and resources to help create a literacy-rich school environment. The strategies are organized by type and can be applied in any content area. PCIStube contains useful videos related to our initiative. The Cool Tools section showcases technology resources that can be used to enhance instruction. We've also included samples of work done by teachers and students as well as a section about the team.
