Many parents have gone on to their day s activities, but you are struck by the number who remain behind. They are there as partners in a project of lifelong consequence and are welcomed by teachers with open arms and minds. Nearly every class is filled with the same recipe for success - teachers with a plan for the day, willing parents enthusiastically lending their time, and eager children welcoming the attention and the chance to learn. It is a very powerful combination of positive forces and is the very essence of Westlake Hills T.E.A.M. concept. You can also feel this T.E.A.M. spirit in the way teachers interact both informally and professionally.
Daily lessons reflect mutual planning and shared goals with room for individual modifications.
The staff room is the hub where new ideas are generated before, during and after school. Our staff not only participate in workshops and conferences on current educational issues and topics, but also serve as leaders and presenters in many curricular areas on a district and state level. The curriculum at Westlake Hills is all research-based with an emphasis on current practices and techniques. We use these methods to provide our students with instruction that features balance within the subjects and within the individual disciplines themselves. This document is unique to Westlake Hills.
