Instructional Strategies
Autonomous Learner Model (ALM): An innovative, research-based approach to learning that focuses on teaching students to be life long learners.
Differentiated Instruction: A teaching concept in which the classroom teacher plans for the diverse needs of the students.
Multiple Intelligences: A concept that allows the teachers to teach and assess students based on individual intellectual strengths and weaknesses.
Personalized Learning: Small group instruction, remediation, independent projects and cooperative groups.
Arts in the Classroom (AIC): Through the use of art (including performing art), AIC is an instructional strategy that enriches the cultural education of our students and enhances all subject areas. We have a team of teachers that were specifically trained to implement this unique approach throughout our school.
