Professional Practice
High quality teaching requires high levels of academic and discipline-specific knowledge, as well as high levels of teaching skill. Utilizing responsive teaching practices that are personalized to student needs is critical. Assessments, done in a balanced way with both formative and summative components, are utilized to make decisions about adjusting teaching to meet student needs. Lastly, high expectations and respect are non-negotiable.

Working with a focus on the Common Core State Standards, there is a focus on an integrated, creative, robust, relevant and flexible instructional and curricular approach. The approach is not confined to the classroom, but instead takes advantage of community partnerships.
