The Future of Sixth-Grade Education
The Future of Sixth-Grade Education
The Everett Public Schools (EPS) is looking for feedback about the possible departmentalization of the 6th grade for the 2025-26 school year. The plan promotes a true middle school model, with four separate content area teachers for all EPS sixth graders. Educators who have an elementary license will have the opportunity to participate in free MTEL prep courses and MTEL test vouchers should they so choose to earn their licenses in a middle school content specific license.
