About my teaching philosophy
My
teaching style is rooted in differentiation and the idea that there are
many different styles of learning. What does that mean in my class? You
will see a lot of cooperative group work, long term independent study,
in-depth projects in all curriculum areas, student choice in activities
and STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY for their own learning. We will all be
learning the same California Content Standards, but how the students
learn the material will often depend on their own strengths and
weaknesses.

Student Projects
Much of the year we will be engaged in project based
learning. As we complete projects I will post student work on this page.
Check back through out the year to see the exciting work the students
are doing. Before a student"s work can be posted, I need to have a parent internet release form completed and signed.
Thanks,
Cassandra Fuller
