Goals are established through a committee of teachers and parents. For the past several years the goals have been twofold. Teachers have committed to professional improvement designed to heighten their awareness of learning styles, multiple intelligences, and student inventories to assess diversity issues. As a result, teachers have been intentionally delivering instruction through higher level thinking skills in content areas based on the way students learn best. A second goal is to teach students collaborative, non-aggressive problem solving and conflict resolution strategies through the services of a consulting psychologist.
Students receive whole class social skill lessons and small group interventions as needed.
Book groups and parenting sessions are held during the school year.
