We believe that every subject area has its own unique way of reaching students, and we truly trust our teachers' professional judgment and skill set. We do, however, also believe that there are core components of every classroom that need to take place in order to personalize each student experience. Each unit includes:
A culminating, real-world performance task for the unit
Pre-test data that offers students the ability to exempt out of work they have mastered; post-test for data analysis
Reflection, goal-setting, feedback, and revision throughout
Formative assessments with hyperlinked resources for assistance
All of the work we assign and grade/give feedback to is standards- and mastery-based with an emphasis on collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking.Â
