    •  Student Centered Instruction:  providing students with 2 different pathways to demonstrate understanding of the learning target for academic growth and attainment.
    •  Anchor/Strategy Charts:  used as an academic resource providing steps to support understanding of content, process and product.
    •  Formative Feedback: monitoring students' learning provides ongoing feedback in order to identify students' strengths, weaknesses and target areas that need intervention.
    • Common Formative Assessments: teachers collaborating within grade levels to create team-designed, intentional measures used for the purpose of monitoring student attainment of essential learning targets throughout the instructional process.
    • Depth of Knowledge (DOK):  the depth of understanding required to answer or explain an assessment-related item or classroom activity.
    • Personalize Learning: the pace of learning and instructional approach is optimized for the needs of each learner. Learning objectives, instructional approaches, instructional content/sequencing vary based on the learners' needs.

    CMSD Vision:

    In our pursuit of a more fair, just and good system of education, we want each of our learners, both each of our scholars and each of their educators, to be individually and collectively presented with academically/intellectually complex tasks that are worthy of their productive struggle and allow them authentic opportunities to demonstrate their work and their learning of academic content and transferable skills in a joyful and adventurous environment.
