Students are assessed at the beginning of each school year, at the end of each trimester and again at the end of the school year in relation to mastery of curriculum standards. The assessment results drive classroom instruction and assist teachers in creating lessons and facilitating instruction that is suitable to their class. In addition, the learning environment is adapted to meet the needs of each student.  Personalized instruction is used to provide intervention and accelerated instruction as needed. Teachers are able to focus on specific areas in the curriculum where students require this support. Personalization of the lessons changes the way in which material is presented to students, how students interact with the material and the way in which they present their knowledge and understanding. Teachers utilize the latest technology as well as research-based best practices in their classrooms such as: close reads, text sets, sentence frames, post it activities, spiral math review, and differentiated instruction to ensure high achievement for all students.
