High School Scoring Criteria

Habits of Learning are the patterns of behavior and thinking the school community expects each student to develop and demonstrate. Developing these habits will support students in their learning as well as in college, careers and civic life.

Why Habits of Learning

“…we must not only raise the bar on what students learn but we must also leverage an understanding of noncognitive factors to teach adolescents how to become effective learners. In the absence of developing students as learners, current reform efforts are unlikely to succeed at increasing students’ readiness for college.”
