Thurgood Marshall Middle School

Thurgood Marshall Middle School opened its doors in the fall of 1994. Through a year long “Design Team” planning process involving staff, administrators, parents, community members and students, a comprehensive plan was developed to create a middle school experience based on best practice for the most effective learning environment for middle level students. The elements included in that original plan that still endure today are:

• Connecting curriculum and instruction to real life
• Integrating opportunities for community service and learning responsible citizenship
• Strong parent-school communication
• Integrating technology as a learning tool
• Challenging instructional programs

  

Additionally, staff at TMMS focus extensively on formative assessment practices, meet regularly in Professional Learning Communities and focus on the creation of classroom environments that foster and nurture growth mindsets in students.

Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)

MAP is a district assessment that measures a student's developing skills through a series of questions that adapt to the child’s level of learning. Research on MAP indicates the results are highly accurate. The results help teachers measure growth and determine whether a student may need more support or more challenge.
