School Wide Expectations

We will place an intense focus on learning strategies and differentiated
teaching based on assessment scores in the classroom. These scores
helped us to initially place students in RTI group #1 (current group).

More emphasis will be placed on STEM activities that give students hands
on experiences in the classroom where they are challenging each other to
think and discuss before drawing conclusions.

Working on writing goals and challenging students to move up the ladder
with their thinking process – a three paragraph writer moves on to a five
paragraph writer when given a prompt.
