Theory of Action

If we view curriculum as a mirror for the self and a window into the lives of others, teachers can construct rigorous performance tasks that reflect student diversity. Student experience and outcomes will improve as a result of engagement with these tasks.   
 
Through multiple approaches to our instructional focus of feedback representing the ultimate manifestation of student engagement, teachers provide differentiated, targeted, and responsive strategies aligned with the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards (NGLS) across all foundational subjects. Faithful execution of this work will allow students to soar, from good to great, and BEYOND.
