English Language Arts

The English language arts team strives to foster literacy excellence, strengthen the instructional core, prepare students as global citizens and promote diversity and inclusion so students thrive during and beyond their education in Jeffco Public Schools.

The English Language Arts program at Bear Creek High School encourages students to think critically and creatively; express individual ideas; understand and participate meaningfully in both speech and writing; formulate and answer questions; and search for, organize, evaluate and apply relevant information.

We are concerned with content and process – not just what students learn, but how they learn. We emphasize literacy, which is the ability to think, process and acquire knowledge for reasoning and communication and to use available resources to achieve these purposes.
