“It’s critically important that students have ownership in this, and they see themselves within the work.”
Mark Smith, Ed.D. | Deputy Superintendent
Howard-Suamico School District is working to implement student-centered personalized learning experiences as part of its District Strategic Plan. Students are coached to engage in deeper learning and develop life skills identified in the district’s Graduate Profile.
Students build an understanding of new learning through inquiry, engage in dynamic collaborative learning experiences, apply skills with voice and choice, and ultimately assess their own learning. Authentic learning experiences are being built directly into each content area, course, and grade level using a curriculum framework that details learning intentions and success criteria for deeper learning.
