PROGRAM ACCOMMODATIONS

During the school year, we will use a multitude of techniques to instruct, assess, supplement, differentiate, and increase student understanding and develop lessons that will incorporate Bloom’s Taxonomy (lowest to highest order of thinking), maximize cognitive potential, raise the bar of improvement, and help students establish high academic self-confidence, as well as bridge the gap between learning and having fun learning. These techniques are research-based and historically proved to help students succeed.  The techniques are listed below:

            * Interactive notebooks

            * Pre/Mid/Post informal and/or formal assessments
