Programs such as the Turning Points Project provide support. The Citywide Learning Standards, based on interdisciplinary teaching of all the staff, continue to be the focus of all teaching and learning. Our vision is that technology use should be as common as pencil and paper, connecting staff, students, parents, and community to our changing world through education and access. The school is making more use of the Internet, web sites, CD-ROMs, and basic skill development material. Interaction across various disciplines is a key part of our efforts.
Wheatley faculty participate in many forms of professional development.
The Comprehensive School Plan requires training in literacy strategies. The 18 hours for professional development offer the staff a variety of methods to fine tune their teaching skills in their particular subject areas and share ideas and techniques across grade levels and disciplines. The Wheatley School community is well-connected with its school and students. Parents of Wheatley students really enjoy the small and warm atmosphere of their school.
