Instructional Focus

By working in professional learning communities and analyzing student performance data derived from iReady, Acadience, summative and formative assessments, and NYS Exams, we will identify standards of focus so that teachers can differentiate learning and meet the needs of all students. By strengthening core instruction, students will be able to have meaningful collaborative conversations that help to make their thinking skills visible and strengthen critical thinking skills across all content areas. The skills developed and knowledge gain will be applied to real life problem solving.
