INSTRUCTION GOAL:
Increased school-wide awareness of regular focused notes (especially in core classes) and daily Planner use as well as other WICOR strategies throughout core and elective courses to demonstrate interactions and help retain new information. Ultimately, we hope to use WICOR to improve grades and A-G rates, while maintaining rigor.
