We seek every opportunity to embrace and celebrate the diversity of our students. The staff and community are dedicated to the belief that all children can learn. We focus all of our instructional efforts to make this belief come true each and every day for our third, fourth and fifth graders. The curriculum is integrated through inter-disciplinary units of study whenever applicable. Teachers actively seek to relate all learning to the everyday world outside the classroom.
Teachers frequently monitor and assess student achievement through diagnostic evaluation.
Through this frequent diagnostic testing the teachers are better able to identify the instructional strategies which will accommodate individual student needs. Sheffield Intermediate accepts the challenge of preparing our students for the 21st century. The use of computer technology is an integral part of our daily instruction. Lifeskills such as problem solving, cooperation, leadership, and perseverance and character education are incorporated into the curriculum, providing students with essential skills to compete in a global society. The development of students' Character Values is very important in our daily instruction and modeling for students.
