Adaptive Expertise
Adaptive Expertise
A culture of Adaptive Expertise will enhance staff curiosity and an inquiry mindset. The questioning of our routines, evidence, and assumptions will lead us to being more responsive to the particular needs of the students in front of us. We will constantly seek new knowledge and understanding, actively explore alternative solutions, think evaluatively and check impact, welcome different perspectives, and act transformatively.

A system of Collaborative Models of Support will bring teachers together for purposeful dialogue using data to plan invisible, universal interventions for students while also creating job embedded learning for teachers.
