It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects. At Brisas we believe that the students are why we are here. We work hard to have the students involved in their learning and in their school.
All students keep a portfolio of their work and monitor their growth.
Twice a year the students meet with their parents to show their portfolios and to show their parents how they have grown. This really helps the students with their own accountability of their learning. Class Meetings - Students at Brisas are involved with making classroom decisions in many different areas using a class meeting approach. The teachers use several different formats, but the goal is to have the students complement each other, and then work through issues that affect the class. The students truly believe they have ownership and responsibility in their classroom.
