The purpose of this handbook is to enhance teaching and learning in order to maximize student potential. It delineates standardized processes regarding curriculum, instruction, and assessment at the classroom level. This handbook also provides the strategies and tools to answer the following driving questions regarding student learning:
What are students expected to learn?
How can we best teach the intended learning outcomes?
How do we know students are learning what they are expected to learn?
If students are not learning what they are expected to learn, what can we do about it?
The Teaching and Learning Handbook describes the pedagogical expectations: what needs to be done, by whom, how, and when. These guidelines will ensure teacher effectiveness and student learning while being loyal to our school’s vision and philosophy of education.
