In the area of academics, teachers focus on meeting children's needs in a developmentally-appropriate environment. Beginning in Kindergarten, students learn to set individual goals for academic and social growth. Teachers in every grade strengthen these individual plans for growth by orchestrating learning that support current research on multiple intelligences. Once every two weeks, the teacher also goes to the home of each child to share individualized teaching activities with the child and his or her parents. The IAT targets students in grades 1-3 who are experiencing delays in learning to read.
Students receive daily individualized instruction.
Added to these academic initiatives, the Obee Cares program focuses on serving the needs of the child and his or her parents beyond the school day. An on-site program, Obee Cares offers extended day enrichment opportunities for students, both before and after school. Many initiatives exemplify this. Guided by district curriculum, Obee aims for constant improvement of the teaching and learning process by focusing on results. Curriculum is presented in an integrated manner with an awareness of students' varying needs and interests.
