The district focuses on instruction that builds student agency and provides all students access to grade level content. Rigorous instruction includes culturally responsive practices that affirm student’s identities, voices, culture and histories. Rigorous instruction includes specially designed instruction (SDI) for students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), which ensures that teaching methods, content, and delivery are tailored to meet their unique needs. This allows students with IEPs to access and thrive within the district’s rigorous expectations. By setting high expectations and providing a supportive environment, the district believes students can thrive academically. The district also supports teachers with ongoing training to ensure they have the tools to help every student succeed.
To track this, the district looks at data from classroom observations, student feedback, and other sources.
