Standardized test results are but one component of an overall evaluation system. Common academic standards are established in each curriculum area and student performance is reviewed in relation to these. The focus is on teaching that which is truly of value. Student as Active Learner Students have greater ownership for what is learned. They are required to ask more questions, do more research, reflect upon their own thinking and challenge ideas as a means to constructing their own understandings.
Teachers act as problem presenters instead of problem solvers.
They facilitate and coach learners in active classrooms. Learning occurs outside of the classroom as well as within it. Technology is an important vehicle for learning. Relationships Based on Trust, Decency and Fairness All of the work in the district occurs in an atmosphere of mutual respect and high standards. We are working hard to ensure that all members of our school community are treated with courtesy and respect.
