Welcome to IT LEARNS, a website devoted to our Island Trees staff as we work collaboratively to improve learning and teaching in the Island Trees School District! Our remarkable staff continues to empower our students each and every day as learners, as human beings, and as positive contributors to society. Our small but mighty district never ceases to amaze, largely due to our shared love for our school community, our shared attention to promoting individual growth, and our shared value of the learning process.
When we consider the collective power of our staff to plan and deliver quality instruction, to care for our students and families, to pull together the depth and breadth of our experience as educators, it is simply awe-inspiring.
IT LEARNS is designed to promote our collaborative efforts to share resources on the topics we, as a learning community, care most deeply about, as indicated by our frequent professional development surveys, our ongoing conversations, and feedback from our Superintendent’s Conference Days.
“Accomplishing the maximum impact on student learning depends on teams of teachers working together, with excellent leaders or coaches, agreeing on worthwhile outcomes, setting high expectations, knowing the students’ starting and desired success in learning, seeking evidence continually about their impact on all students, modifying their teaching in light of this evaluation, and joining in the success of truly making a difference to student outcomes.”
― John A.C. Hattie, Visible Learning for Teachers: Maximizing Impact on Learning
