Flexible Grouping
“Middle School students are members of heterogeneous, interdisciplinary teams designed to include all achievement and ability levels. The teachers on the teams make decisions about the groups within their teams and utilize a variety of grouping strategies throughout the year”
SMS Parent Handbook and Curriculum Guide.
Active Learning Credo
What I hear, I forget.
What I hear and see, I remember a little.
What I hear, see and ask questions about or discuss with someone else, I begin to understand.
What I hear, see discuss and do, I acquire knowledge and skill.
What I teach to another, I master.
