Continuous progress enables students to advance through the challenging educational program at their own rates of development. Continuity of caring provides a system of sustained caring to meet the full range of student needs. The Pasco County School Board's commitment to redesigning schools begins now and stretches into the next century. New technology and quality staff development will support and help achieve these ambitious goals. There is also a teacher station where teachers can work with individual students as well as small groups.
Children spend one hour a day in each of the cluster classrooms.
The rest of the day they are with one of the teachers whose classroom also serves as their home base. Through the team approach, children have access to computers every day in one subject or the other. And the learning station approach, along with a structured classroom management system, enables equitable access to computers for all students.
