Exploring   the  creative     mind

The instructional journey
With countless opportunities to use the creative, right side of the brain... students will enjoy different lessons which will allow expressive and engaging thought! Students will use hands on learning and projects throughout the learning process as well as demonstrate learning gains. Students will work individually, in pairs, and small groups to accomplish tasks depending on the essential course content at hand. 
     Be prepared to ask questions, get messy, team build, create, go outside and take a chance at learning!​     
Teaching from well-written, grade-level instructional materials enhances students' content area knowledge and also strengthens their ability to comprehend longer, complex reading passages on any topic for any reason. Using the following instructional practices also helps student learning:
  1. Reading assignments from longer text passages as well as shorter ones when text is extremely complex.
  2. Making close reading and rereading of texts central to lessons.
  3. Asking high-level, text-specific questions and requiring high-level, complex tasks and assignments.
  4. Requiring students to support answers with evidence from the text.
  5. Providing extensive text-based research and writing opportunities (claims and evidence).
