Excelling- Learning occurs at the adaptation level. Classroom instruction is student centered, and students can think in complex ways and apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired. When confronted with perplexing unknowns, students create solutions and take action that further develops their skills and knowledge to help their community. Community partners engage with students throughout the process.
Our teachers work daily towards the adaptation level of learning. Students are the focus of our work as a staff. Teachers are consistently working to give students opportunities to problem solve in the real world through science and math instruction.
