High Quality Teachers/Teaching
Professional PracticeCommunity of
Learners High quality teaching requires high levels of academic and discipline-specific knowledge, as well as high levels of teaching skill. Utilizing responsive teaching practices that are personalized to student needs is critical. Assessments,done in a balanced way with both formative and summativecomponents, are utilized to make decisions about adjusting teaching to meet student needs. Lastly, high expectationsand respect are non-negotiable.
A positive environment is essential and it begins in theclassroom and extends to the learning environment as awhole. It is about creating a community of learnersfromthe students in the classroom, to the teachers in the school,to the leadership and to the parents and larger community. Students own their learning .
Liberated ApproachFoundations for
SuccessWorking with a focus on the Common Core State Standards,there is a focus on an integrated, creative, robust, relevant and flexible instructional and curricular approach . Theapproach is not confined to the classroom, but instead takesadvantage of community partnerships.
There are structural supports for the robust, rigorous,relevant and creative teaching. The resources are aligned to support the curricular and instructional goals. Teachersare involved in the process of determining resourceallocationsfrom classroom resources, to collaborationtime, professional development, and other program
priorities.
