The Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for English Language Arts are crafted around guiding principles that underlie the standards and resources used in Hopkinton. The same basic principles, which are designed to prepare students for college, careers, and lives as productive citizens, form the basis of instruction at all grade levels in Hopkinton, right through our students’ high school experience. While some of the principles (listed below) may be more thoroughly addressed at the elementary or secondary level, the essential tenets of developing literate students are embedded in these principles, on which our English Language Arts Frameworks have been developed.
