Co- Teaching & Differentiation

Students will have the opportunity for intensive skill development through small groups. We are constantly performing ongoing assessment which allows us to decide which students require extensions, review, or remediation. We will increase the rigor of the curriculum we designed by challenging students thinking which can offer extensions to the lesson.
