This was a vision driven school, and everything was done intentionally in support of that vision. There was a strong theory of action to address the needs of students. That included:
- Differentiation: Instruction and assessment adapted to student needs.
- All teachers regularly planned for and applied varied approaches to connect instruction
- with student knowledge, learning styles, and cultural backgrounds.
- Data Driven Continuous Improvement: Students, families, and community stakeholders were involved in data-driven continuous improvement efforts.
- Students frequently monitored and assessed the quality of their work relative to the performance standards.
- Accelerated intervention: Goals and strategies for intervention were individualized for each student.
- Placement criteria for services were clear and monitored. Services are coordinated effectively.
